Additional information
This paper reports on the successful use for the first time of Warwick’s novel automotive hybrid vehicle simulation software and control strategy development methodologies for railway vehicle applications. Compared with a pure fuel cell rail vehicle, a hybridized fuel cell rail vehicle could provide nearly 30% reduction in fuel and emissions, while not significantly affecting overall journey duration. Compared with a pure diesel vehicle, fuel cell hybrid vehicles have the potential of reducing CO2 emissions by up to 45%. The research was delivered for the Department for Transport (Simon.Vasey@dft.gsi.gov.uk) in order to positively influence the choice of future railway vehicles.
