Abstract

Forecasting the fuel consumption of an entire vehicle fleet has become a crucial challenge for all car manufacturers. Over the past few years, simulation of the entire vehicle has become an essential means of making precise predictions of the effectiveness of fuel economy measures at BMW. An effective, reliable simulation framework has been developed in cooperation with Tesis Dynaware to master both the complexity of a single vehicle and the large number of vehicle variants.
