Abstract

As the test cycle used for evaluating the fuel consumption and emission characteristics of the heavy-duty commercial vehicle in China will be replaced from C-WTVC to CHTC in a round 2020, the investigation on the variation of fuel consumption and emission test results after the replacement is well needed for further vehicle’s development and calibration. In this paper, the fuel consumption and emission characteristics of a China VI coach under these two test cycles have been discussed and compared. Results showed that fuel consumption, CO, HC and NOx emissions of the test coach all increased after changing the test cycle from C-WTVC to CHTC, which were due to the low rotation speed and low torque operating points, and the aggressive and frequent acceleration under CHTC. In addition, Acceleration driving condition contributed most to the deterioration of fuel consumption, CO, HC and NOx emissions under CHTC, which attention should be especially paid in the further vehicle calibration.
