Date published: Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Slides from a presentation made by Derek Matthews, Senior Principal Systems Engineer, BAE Systems, at the Commercial Vehicle Innovation Summit / USA 2011.
Topics covered include:
- Hybrids are critical to achieving GHG and FE targets for the future
- Chicken and Egg problem of low market volume and high system cost, compound with added cost of certification
- 2016/2017 Hybrids must be fully OBD compliant, there is much to do in those 4-5 short years
- Have to standardize to ‘plug and play’ to keep the industry alive and competitive
