TY - JOUR AU - Zhou, Yuliang (Leon) AB - The purposes of this paper are to improve on the nomenclature of Hybrid Vehicles (HVs), and to present an enhanced methodology to report the Fuel Economy (FE) of emerging Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHVs). New definitions for HVs and PHVs are presented that include some powertrain configurations that were excluded by the previous definitions, such as the parallel micro-hybrid configuration. The methodology presented to calculate the FE for PHVs involves independently reporting fuel and electrical consumption and eliminates the usage of US driving and owner-charging statistics used in previous methods.
