A hydraulic regenerative braking system for an articulated heavy vehicle is modelled for an idealised urban driving cycle, consisting of one stop and start from 30 mile/h, in a distance of 700 m. This model is used to guide specification of a hardware system but not to investigate brake blending methods or the torque distribution during braking. The specified system consists of a high-pressure accumulator and a low-pressure accumulator, connected by two fixed-displacement in-wheel pump-motors. One of these systems is fitted to each of the three trailer axles. This system can produce a fuel consumption saving of 21.7% over an idealised stop-start cycle. The same system was simulated over the Heavy Heavy-Duty Diesel Truck transient mode, New York City and Urban Driving Dynamometer Schedule legislative driving cycles, reducing fuel consumption by 11.2%, 17% and 11.7% respectively. Fuel consumption can be further reduced for all these cycles if engine stop-start technology is used. The potential to use the system when traversing hilly terrain was investigated, and the system was found to reduce fuel consumption by 12.6% over a V-shaped valley and by up to 5.3% over a realistic elevation profile.
