Module Type
E-learning
Description
Short description:
Analyzes vehicle mass influence on fuel reduction and use-phase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for both conventional and electric vehicles.
Long description:
This module explores the environmental impacts of vehicle mass changes, focusing on fuel reduction value (FRV) and use-phase GHG emissions. Learners examine the sensitivity of fuel consumption to vehicle mass for different powertrain types, comparing resized and non-resized cases. The module also presents how GHG emissions are calculated in the use phase by evaluating Well-to-Tank and Tank-to-Wheel contributions. Learners interpret graphical outputs from the Design Advisor tool to support eco-informed vehicle design decisions.
What you will learn
- Evaluate the impact of vehicle mass on fuel reduction value for various powertrain types.
- Com.pare resized and nominal vehicle configurations in terms of FRV.
- Analyze fuel consumption sensitivity graphs for conventional and electric vehicles.
- Calculate use-phase GHG emissions using Well-to-Tank and Tank-to-Wheel approaches.
- Interpret Design Advisor output to inform mass-reduction strategies
