An Innovative Methodology to Take into Account Traffic Information on WLTP Cycle for Hybrid Vehicles
The most efficient energy management strategies for hybrid vehicles are the “Optimization-Based Strategies”. These strategies require a preliminary knowledge of the driving cycle, which is not easy to predict.

Use of a thermal battery with a heat pump for low temperature electric vehicle operation [PDF]
Below 10°C, electric vehicles suffer from reduced range, which can be as severe as a 70% reduction (at -26°C). This is due to reduced battery performance at low temperatures and increased cabin heating demand.

Analysis of WLTP typical driving conditions that affect non-exhaust particle emissions [PDF]
Driving conditions have a large influence on particle generation from brake and tyre wear processes. Different driving conditions in experimental investigation of particle emissions from brake and tyre wear is one of the reasons why different - or even ...

Effect of WLTP CLASS 3B Driving Cycle on Lithium-Ion Battery for Electric Vehicles
Capacity loss over time is a critical issue for lithium-ion batteries powering battery electric vehicles (BEVs) because it affects vehicle range and performance. Driving cycles have a major impact on the ageing of these devices because they are subjected
