Abstract

The transportation industry has to face major challenges, because of global efforts towards a reduction of greenhouse gases and a general tendency towards decarbonisation. The EU reduction targets for example stipulate an OEM specific fleet CO2 decrease of 30% by 2030. Furthermore, future emission legislation will potentially require measures for ultra-low NOx. In this context, multiple technology scenarios ranging from cabin & vehicle design, efficient conventional combustion engines to hydrogen combustion engines and electric powertrain concepts can be expected in the future. From total cost of ownership and representative fleet composition calculations, IAV has derived possible scenarios for a future heavy-duty powertrain configuration: a high efficiency diesel powertrain using mechanical, thermodynamic and thermal management measures in a mid-term, and an advanced engine design for hydrogen combustion and eFuels in a long-term scenario.
