Abstract

Reactivity controlled compression ignition combustion showed great advantages in terms of NOx and soot emissions reduction, leading to virtually zero emissions. However, the average brake thermal efficiency of this concept is like that found with conventional diesel operation. The powertrain electrification using electric motors and battery packages appears as a potential solution to reduce the CO2 emissions. For this reason, several solutions for the powertrain electrification can be found currently in the market as the parallel, series and power split powertrain architectures. The aim of this work is to evaluate the hybrid architecture impact on the fuel consumption and emissions of a delivery truck (Volvo-FL) intended for urban and urban–rural applications. The truck equipped with a reactivity-controlled compression ignition diesel-gasoline engine is evaluated and compared against the conventional diesel case. In addition, to evaluate the impact of new e-fuels on the well-to-wheel CO2 emissions, a synthetic gasoline coming from carbon capture and green electricity is evaluated. The results show that hybridization allows reducing the tank-to-wheel CO2 emissions above 15% with the parallel hybrid set-up. The series and power split architectures show CO2 benefits of 12% with respect to the baseline diesel non-hybrid case. Using synthetic gasoline as low reactivity fuel allows to achieve a 50% well-to-wheel CO2 reduction in the P2 and 70% well-to-wheel CO2 reduction for the series and power split cases due to the higher average gasoline fraction used in the driving cycle.
