Presentation of a proposal for a revised ‘Worldwide heavy-duty hybrid test cycle’.

The Vienna and Graz Technical Universities have conducted research and offered recommendations for the heavy-duty hybrid emissions regulation. Japan comments on the TU-Wien and TU-Graz proposals.

JASIC presentation on its evaluation of the Worldwide Heavy Duty Hybrid Cycle as proposed by Prof. Hausberger.

Japan analysis of JRC chassis dyno test results under the Validation Test Program 2.

Since the system output is different between WHTC, the test cycle for conventional vehicles, and WHVC, a compensation method has been proposed. JASIC reports on its verification of the compensation method and its impact on test results.
