Project output<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Development and testing of a prototype urban semitrailer with path-following steering system and hydraulic regenerative braking system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. The best way to improve fuel consumption in urban delivery is to increase vehicle capacity wherever the logistics operation allows.<\/li>
  2. Regenerative braking can give substantial further benefits, but the costs are significant.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    % fuel saving<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n\n\n\n

    1. The payload increase enabled by the trailer steering provides up to 33% saving in fuel per unit of freight task.<\/li>
    2. The regenerative braking system provides a further 9 – 18% reduction in fuel, for urban conditions, depending on the drive cycle.<\/li>
    3. The overall fuel reduction is 35 – 42%<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      % CO2<\/sub>e Saving<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n\n\n\n

      % Carbon savings for these measures are generally equal to the fuel savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Cost of implementation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>\n\n\n\n

      The business case is yet to be made. Costs of commercial systems need to be determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      Implementation strategy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span><\/span>\n\n\n\n

      1. Consider all ways to increase payload, while maintaining fill<\/li>
      2. Trailer steering can be implemented now, for niche operations. Ask David Cebon for details <dc@eng.cam.ac.uk<\/a>><\/li>
      3. Regenerative braking needs further development and may notgive the necessary payback at current fuel price levels. <\/li><\/ol>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
