Shivraj Pawar | M. M. Wagh ^[2] | N. N. Shinde

Abstract: In forthcoming years, total fuel demand in all transport modes will increase. Fuel demand for the Light Duty Vehicles in the transport market, is expected to increase further. In addition, the transportation sector will still depend heavily on gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, since they all create the majority of transport market fuels. Thus it is essential to study the conservation of energy in light duty vehicles in transportation sector. The result of parameters - air resistance, rolling resistance and mass of vehicle is premeditated for Indian urban and highway driving cycle. The power usage is calculated separately. The simulation tool used is ADVISOR.

Keywords: electric vehicle, energy balance, rolling resistance, air resistance, ADVISOR
