THREE STATE-OF-THE-ART INDIVIDUAL ELECTRIC AND HYBRID VEHICLE TEST REPORTS. VOLUME II

The survey characterizes present electric vehicles and does not represent any particular vehicle technology. Vehicles selected for test and evaluation were picked to provide a representation of the current state-of-the-art. Selection was based on ready availability of a vehicle and its technical representation and the apparent maturity of its construction. The test vehicles are: Fiat 850T Electric Van; Ripp Electric Passenger car; and Volkswagen Taxi Hybrid Passenger Vehicle. A previous report, "Twelve State-of-the-Art Individual Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Test Reports," Volume I, July 1978, is also available.
