Experiment for a Parallel Hydraulic Hybrid Terminal Tractor
Hydraulic hybrid technology of vehicle has the potential to significantly improve fuel economy and reduce emission, and increasingly aroused the attention of the research institutions and automotive manufacturers all over the world. The main of this work is to design a parallel hydraulic hybrid system for a heavy terminal tractor. Firstly, overall scheme design, construction design, and hydraulic regenerative braking system (HRBS) for terminal tractor are designed. Furthermore, the hydraulic hybrid terminal tractor is refitted successfully. The test results show that the sample vehicle is credible and in good operation, a fuel economy improvement of the new scheme is 38.1%~61.6% more than conventional baseline. Experimental study has very important value in the hydraulic hybrid terminal tractor real application.
