Abstract At least three energy conversion steps are relevant for a comprehensive analysis of energy efficiency of passenger cars and other road vehicles. As illustrated in Fig. 2.1, in a first step (“grid-to-tank”) , energy carriers that are available at stationary distribution networks, such as gasoline, electricity, etc., are transferred to an on-board storage system. This energy is then converted by the propulsion system to mechanical energy aimed at propelling the vehicle (‘“tank-to-wheels”) . In the third energy conversion step (“wheel-to-distance”) , this mechanical energy is ultimately converted into the kinetic and potential energy required by the displacement. Unfortunately, all of these conversion processes may cause substantial energy losses.
