PHASE 1 OF THE NEAR TERM HYBRID PASSENGER VEHICLE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. APPENDIX B: TRADE-OFF STUDIES, VOLUME 1
Tradeoff study activities and the analysis process used are described with emphasis on (1) review of the alternatives; (2) vehicle architecture; and (3) evaluation of the propulsion system alternatives; interim results are presented for the basic hybrid vehicle characterization; vehicle scheme development; propulsion system power and transmission ratios; vehicle weight; energy consumption and emissions; performance; production costs; reliability, availability and maintainability; life cycle costs, and operational quality. The final vehicle conceptual design is examined.
