“…Several different types of hybrid have been considered in the past and are still undergoing extensive research. The development of Electric Hybrids Vehicles (HEV's) which use a motor/generator and battery packs, resulted in commercial availability of such vehicles [3]. Mechanical Hybrid Vehicles (MHV's), which use flywheels to store energy were less successful in commercialization, although a number of such vehicles were tried [4].…”

The consumption of fossil fuels is one of the largest problems facing humankind. One of the heaviest users of our non-renewable resources is the automotive industry, in particular, the heavy road transport sector. Tightening worldwide legislation aims to place restrictions on the heavy transport industry to reduce its use of fossil fuels and reduce the levels of pollution being released to the atmosphere. Although several different alternatives to the conventional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) have been investigated, none have as yet become a competitive source of energy. Alternative research into development of hybrid-drive vehicles was specifically concerned with electric hybrids especially for passenger vehicles. Currently there is a resurgence of interest in the Hydraulic-type Hybrid Vehicle (HHV) in application to commercial and to a lesser degree to large passenger vehicles. This paper gives an overview of hydraulic hybrid technology.

“…In this study, a more realistic electric accessory model was built to investigate the performance at least so far as conventionally powered vehicles are concerned [37]. Table 2.1 shows the EPA regulated emission standard history for urban bus engines since 1991.…”
