Abstract

This paper describes a two-fold approach carried out in collaboration between IFPEN and the French ADEME with the aim to evaluate a Plug-in Hybrid vehicle according to its conditions of use. The vehicle considered, an Opel Ampera, has been widely tested on a chassis dyno and simulated using IFPEN LMS.IMAGINE.Lab AMESim® platform. The software principles and its validation on different specific cases, thanks to experimental results, are described. The PHEV simulation tool is used to evaluate the influence of two European standard procedures and the influence of their parameters on the weighed CO2 emission.
