21 Feb 2014 Testing a Rear Wheel Drive xEV on a 2 Wheel and 4 Wheel Dynamometer (revised) (TC and ECCC) EVE-09-05/Rev.1 2014-02-21 Revised presentation on a research project intended primarily to evaluate regenerative braking energy and CO2 emission differences between a 2-wheel dynamometer, a 4-wheel dynamometer and empirically determined rear-axle braking forces applied the same test conditions on a 2-wheel dynamometer. The expectation is that the two-wheel dyno tests will produce the highest regenerative braking energy and lowest CO2 emissions since it places 100% of the braking load on the rear axle. TC ECCC
