Investigation of Emissions and Energy Consumption of DENA Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Nowadays, environmental pollution is increasing more and more and in the big cities, because of the concentration of the population, is more intense. Air pollution in the big cities has become a serious problem especially in Iran. High fossil fuel consumption of vehicles is a major cause to increase in the amount of air pollution. Using new technology of powertrain, like other developed countries, is only way to control and reduce the air pollution. Electronic vehicle, which is known as zero-emission vehicle, is one of the solutions that are noticed by most of the car manufacturer. Hybrid Vehicle is actually a stepping-stone to eliminate fossil fuel as an energy source of the vehicles. In this research, the latest hybrid electric vehicle of IPCO as the first developed Hybrid vehicle in Iran is introduced and the real experimental result for the Euro standard emission test of the vehicle is presented. Electric and fuel consumption of the vehicle in the standard cycle NEDC are 12.5 kwh/100km and 3.3 liter/100km, respectively.
