Scope |
This SAE Recommended Practice establishes uniform
procedures for testing fuel cell and hybrid fuel cell electric vehicles,
excluding low speed vehicles, designed primarily for operation on the public
streets, roads and highways. The procedure addresses those vehicles under
test using compressed hydrogen gas supplied by an off-board source or stored
and supplied as a compressed gas onboard. This practice provides standard tests that will allow for
determination of fuel consumption and range based on the US Federal Emission
Test Procedures, using the Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS) and the
Highway Fuel Economy Driving Schedule (HFEDS). Chassis dynamometer test
procedures are specified in this document to eliminate the test-to-test
variations inherent with track testing, and to adhere to standard industry
practice for fuel consumption and range testing. Communication between
vehicle manufacturer and the governing authority is essential when starting
official manufacturer in-house and official government confirmatory testing
that incorporates this practice. |
