The GRAND HAMSTER E- 4WD project, deployed within the Automotive Engineering Research Centre, Alternative Propulsion System & Renewable Energies laboratory, offered an experimental vehicle to study the ways of reducing the pollutant emissions of DACIA DUSTER car. The vehicle was developed based on the experience acquired in the HAMSTER ELECTRICWAY 4WD project. Considering its specific operating modes, this ecologic vehicle could be used as utility vehicle for special services in areas with environmental restrictions. In addition, its battery with high voltage (205 V) and high capacity (12 kWh) may allow supplying the specific equipment in remote areas requiring a motor-generator group. This function could facilitate the client's acceptance of additional costs. The EcoMatic Hybrid System (Energy conversion with autoMatic Hybrid System), diesel-electric version, a parallel two shafts, plug-in type, organized in a motorized solution E- 4WD (Electricway- 4WD) mounted on this demonstrator in diesel-electric version is designed to be applied to all types of Dacia cars. Our research on this subject will continue by the following stages: (1) Performing road tests to determine the performances in real conditions, yet unrealized because of adverse weather conditions; (2) The engine has Stop@Start system implemented; (3) Adaptation of an improved HEVMS (Hybrid Electric Vehicle Management System) able to extend to all operating modes presented in figure 3. In the first stage, this specific hybrid mode is not operational; (4) Implementing a system for automatic release of the clutch from the Thermal Powertrain, in order to improve the efficiency of the recuperative brake. The Alternative Propulsion System & Renewable Energies research laboratory of Automotive Engineering Research Centre have equipments (dynamometric testing roller benchmark and DATRON CORREVIT road testing equipments) that will allow developing future projects regarding the ecological propulsion of the vehicles and extension of the cooperation with other interested teams, having similar research objectives.
