AN EXPERIMENTAL ICE/BATTERY-ELECTRIC HYBRID WITH LOW EMISSIONS AND LOW FUEL CONSUMPTION CAPABILITY

A "compound" parallel ICE/battery-electric hybrid automobile has yielded emissions (gms/mi) less than 0.41 HC, 3.40 CO, and 1.0 NOx on the FDP with partial battery depletion. The 4,100 lb. curb weight vehicle has a top speed over 70 mph, with 0-60 mph in 16 seconds. Analysis shows that in commuter applications, fueld economy can be increased 60% with partial battery depletion, by hybridizing any conventional car. In a "second car" application, fuel economy can be increased 100% in comparison with conventional ICE vehicles of equal performance. /GMRL/
