Evaluación del ecodriving aplicado a vehículos híbridos como una herramienta de eficiencia energética

Abstract

Hybrid vehicles (HV) can help reduce emissions from transportation, however user behavior has a significant effect on energy savings that is actually achieved in everyday use. The objective of this work is to evaluate the efficiency of high voltage batteries in a 2010 Toyota Prius vehicle, through experimentation and use of automotive measurement equipment (automotive scanner), applying ecodriving for its massive application in hybrid vehicles. The applied methodology selects a route with traffic validated by the Technology Transfer Center for Vehicle Emissions Control Training and Research (CCICEV). A second-generation Toyota Prius is used as the test vehicle as it is the best-selling in the city and nationally. Toyota TIS Techstream software is used to measure the SOC and temperature of the high batteries because it is reliable. The analysis of results is carried out using Excel. The results show that the efficiency of the batteries with ecodriving is 86% and at the temperature 7.5%. It is concluded that efficient driving can be considered as an energy efficiency tool as it increases the efficiency of high voltage batteries both in SOC and in temperature.
