Future CO₂ Reducing Technologies in VECTO: VECTO Technology Coverage and Market Uptake
The software tool VECTO is used to determine the energy demand, fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions of new heavy-duty vehicles. The tool takes into account the relevant vehicle component technologies that affect fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions and should be updated when new relevant technologies are brought to the market. This work presents the results of a survey investigating the capability of VECTO to simulate new vehicle technologies, along with CO₂ reduction potential and the expected penetration rate in the market of these technologies. An in-depth analysis of these new technologies is presented in this work. Many of the technologies demonstrating high potential in reducing CO₂ and market uptake in the near future (e.g. aero devices for trailers and bodies and hybrid electric powertrains) are currently being implemented in VECTO. The next steps can include zero-emission vehicles, such as fuel cell vehicles, and technologies that could be easily implemented.
