The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) started a project for next generation Environmentally Friendly Vehicles (EFVs) in fiscal 2002 and entrusted implementation of the project to the National Traffic Safety and Environment Laboratory (NTSEL), an independent administrative institution.
In this report, the authors explain the project outline including its objectives, an implementation framework, development targets for environmental performance, features of each of the developed EFVs, and so on. The project has been carried out by NTSEL acting as a principal research agency conducting close cooperation with automobile manufacturers, parts manufacturers, universities, and fuel manufacturers. Various types of heavy duty EFVs such as CNG/LNG trucks, DME trucks, hybrid vehicles including IPT power supply system, FTD trucks, a super clean diesel engine, a hydrogen combustion engine and so on, were developed in the project. The design concepts, new technologies and environmental performances of those EFVs are described in this report.
