Publication details: Bryssel ITS in daily life: 16th world congress and exhibition on intelligent transport systems and services, Stockholm 21-25 September 2009. Paper, 2009Description: 8 sSubject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI P1835:16 [World]Location: Abstract: Efficient transportation is a concern to all. Volvo, as one of the leading manufacturers of heavy transportation solutions, has taken its responsibility to reduce the climate impact of its products by developing energy-efficient products like hybrid heavy vehicles. In HAVEit (Highly Automated Vehicles for Intelligent Transport), a running European Union project, Volvo is pushing the current state-of-the art hybrid powertrain solutions to the next level, paving the way for more fuel efficient transportations and sustainable mobility. This will be achieved by optimization techniques, drive cycle predictions based on several perception sensors, and guidance to drive more efficiently.| Current library | Status | |
