The US Department of Energy’s Co-Optimization of Engine and Fuels Initiative (Co-Optima) investigated how unique properties of bio-blendstocks considered within Co-Optima help address emissions challenges with mixing controlled compression ignition (i.e., conventional diesel combustion) and enable advanced compression ignition modes suitable for implementation in a diesel engine. Additionally, the potential synergies of these Co-Optima technologies in hybrid vehicle applications in the medium- and heavy-duty sector was also investigated. In this work, vehicles system were simulated using the Autonomie software tool for quantifying the benefits of Co-Optima engine technologies for medium-duty trucks. A Class 6 delivery truck with a 6.7 L diesel engine was used for simulations over representative real-world and certification drive cycles with four different powertrains to investigate fuel economy, criteria emissions, and performance. Comparisons were made between ultralow-sulfur diesel and a blend of 25% hexyl hexanoate with diesel. Model validation data were informed by 2019 model year Cummins ISB 6.7 L diesel engine maps and transient validation data in a pre-production hybrid configuration and a direct dyno coupled configuration with diesel fuel and a blend of 25% hexyl hexanoate with diesel.
