Abstract

Hybrid electric vehicles can provide increased fuel economy over convention gasoline powered vehicles but these advantages can be affected dramatically by wide variations in operating temperatures. To investigate cold and hot temperature effects on HEV operation and efficiency, an on-road evaluation protocol was defined and conducted over a 6-month study at widely varying temperatures ranging from -14 degrees C to 31 degrees C.
