Potential of an improved energy efficiency in the chassis

In this paper, an approach is presented to determine the losses of the different components in the chassis system. An enhanced two-track model is extended by sub-models to simulate losses and efficiencies. These sub-models are describing the loss behavior, which is compared to the state of art. The energy saving potential of each component is analyzed by optimizing the package of axle components and regarding technology improvements. The study is based on measured user behavior, which includes lateral and longitudinal dynamics as well as road unevenness.     «
