Many\u0000 manufacturers are pursuing electrification to decrease fuel consumption and\u0000 emissions. Future policies will likely require electrification for\u0000 CO2e savings, as seen in light-duty on-road vehicles. Electrified\u0000 architectures vary widely in the heavy-duty off-road space, with parallel\u0000 hybrids in some applications and series hybrids in others. The diverse\u0000 applications for different types of equipment mean different electrified\u0000 configurations are required. Companies must also determine the value in pursuing\u0000 electrified architectures; this work analyzes a range of electrified\u0000 architectures, from micro hybrids to parallel hybrids to series hybrids to a\u0000 BEV, looking at the total cost, total CO2e, and cost per\u0000 CO2e (cost of carbon abatement, or cost of carbon reduction)\u0000 using data for the year 2021. This study is focused on a heavy-duty off-road\u0000 material handler, the Pettibone Cary-Lift 204i. This machine’s specialty\u0000 application, including events like unloading large oil pipes from a railcar,\u0000 requires a unique electrified architecture that suits its specific needs.\u0000 However, the results from this study may be extrapolated to similar machinery to\u0000 inform fuel savings options across the heavy-duty off-road industry. In this\u0000 study, a unique electrified architecture is determined for the Cary-Lift. This\u0000 architecture is informed by multiple rounds of a Pugh matrix decision analysis\u0000 to select a shortened list of desirable electrified architectures. The shortened\u0000 list is modeled and simulated to determine CO2e, cost, and cost per\u0000 CO2e. A final architecture is determined as a plug-in series\u0000 hybrid that reduces fuel consumption by 65%, targeting the large fuel and\u0000 CO2e savings that are likely to be required for the future of the\u0000 heavy-duty off-road industry.","PeriodicalId":45281,"journal":{"name":"SAE International Journal of Commercial Vehicles","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141683478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chassis\u0000 offers the possibility to exchange chassis components by the operator, which\u0000 means after completion by the manufacturer, and thus to adapt the vehicle to\u0000 different purposes. According to the applied methodology, the relevant wheel\u0000 loads are determined and a geometric reference model is created. By defining the\u0000 relevant load cases, the forces acting on the subframe, and thus the physical\u0000 boundary conditions, can be determined from the wheel loads. In addition to the\u0000 wheel loads and the geometric boundary conditions, no other vehicle parameters\u0000 are required for the development of the subframe. The results of the topology\u0000 optimization are used to identify areas of the geometric reference model that\u0000 are not exposed to high loads. Based on the results of the topology\u0000 optimization, a suitable combination of manufacturing processes and suitable\u0000 materials can also be determined. After the basic topology has been determined,\u0000 a welded construction is derived from square tubes and plates.
