Sensibility Analysis on the Effect Factors for Measuring Fuel Consumption of FCVs

Abstract

Influence of effect factors for measuring fuel consumption of fuel cell vehicles was studied by testing a mass product type vehicle. Effect factors were extracted and divided into the factors originated from the facilities for hydrogen supply and the factors originated from their drive batteries. The measuring method for fuel consumptions in this paper was based on the World wide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP). The fuel consumptions were measured by driving with the Worldwide Light-duty Test Cycles (WLTC). Their influence of the factors on fuel consumptions were quantitatively compared.
