4.2.2 Presentation by OICA

Mr. Berg presented working paper HDH-13-05. He confirmed that three vehicles will be available for validation test program 2, a serial hybrid bus from MAN, a parallel hybrid bus from Volvo, and a parallel hybrid medium heavy duty truck from Iveco. The verification criteria of the Japanese regulation will be used. Due to the tight time frame, SILS will be used in this program, as agreed at the 12th HDH meeting.

OICA supports the re-structuring of the models, as proposed by the institutes. For the OEMs, it is essential that the generic HILS models may be replaced with OEM specific models for better accuracy and better compatibility with OEM specific control units. OICA also supports the option of powerpack testing in the gtr. Finally, a procedure should be defined to convert high frequency HILS output signals into lower frequency engine dyno input signals.
