diesel hybrid truck Renault: Hybrys Tech

[Christophe]

Renault Trucks will test its first hybrid-powered truck in October. The test will take place in Lyon in partnership with SITA.

The aim is to reduce CO30 emissions by up to 2%. It is for this purpose that the car manufacturer imagined an electric battery powered by energy recovery during the braking and deceleration phases as well as an autonomous battery for the bucket. This will avoid weighing the power only on the diesel engine.



The vehicle, called Renault Premium Distribution Hybrys Tech, has a hybrid engine in which the electric motor ensures the vehicle starts and propels up to 20 km / h. The diesel engine is used in the circulation phases.

The battery of the electric motor is supplied by energy recovery during braking or deceleration phases. This system should allow a 20% gain in consumption.



The truck also has an additional battery for operating the bucket, which will no longer rely on the diesel engine alone. With this battery, the total consumption gain is estimated up to 30%.

The manufacturer is conducting this experiment in partnership with the company Sita (Suez Environment) and Greater Lyon.

Renault Trucks plans to market at the end of 2009. At the end of the Lyon tests, a group of 6 pre-series hybrid vehicles will be put into operation in other urban distribution businesses in the second half of 2009.

The Renault Premium Distribution Hybrys Tech will be presented at the Hanover Commercial Vehicle Show (September 23 to October 2).

The group presented at the Amsterdam Motor Show in November 2007 a "concept truck" which already prefigured this vehicle and which was called ... "Hybris"

I dream or it would make the first diesel hybrid on the French market? What price? What profitability?

[bham]

-30% consumption !!!
Mazette, what progress !! I am flabbergasted
Couldn't get there with a steam injection ?????

Couldn't get there with a steam injection ?????

No, they keep it for 2012

30% in the city with a hybrid is also not exceptional ... SITA = garbage truck whose stops, acceleration, braking extremely frequent.

This is where the hybrid is most effective ...

A garbage truck must consume in the uh ... 40 to 50L / 100km during an urban tour I presume ... If kk1 has the precise answer?

It is very interesting because "Sita" is quoted. Currently we collect the garbage with Scania-based vehicles (factory in Angers but still) so Renault could have a new product very advantageous.

[Christophe]

Not sure: must see the additional cost and profitability ...Electric garbage trucks have been around for 15 years! It costs 4 times the price of a standard truck... and in the end are never profitable ... therefore not used ...

It's something like that for Scania. - 30% is 28 to 35 liters instead of 40 to 50, it's considerable. And we will avoid the plume of black smoke with each boost.

Well, that's the way to go: hybridization and braking recovery.

And not only for trucks !!!!

And aluminum! It is a 100% recyclable material, very light. Admittedly, it takes energy to recycle it, but it is more than offset by the fact that vehicles are much lighter and consume less. (Audi A2, Honda Insight). In addition, in the case of trucks we can do without paint and it is less pollution (Benalu).

-30% seems pretty ridiculous for a Hybrid transmission.
We know and we can do much better et economically profitable.
In the savings register, several cities in France use draft horses for the collection of household waste.
This choice is interesting for several reasons:
- Noise is reduced
- More pollution and CO2 emissions from the engine.
- Horses allow maneuvering better than a truck in narrow alleys.
- It's cheaper than the truck.

An advantage of the draft horse: it produces natural fertilizer. So far, no hybrid car produces fertilizer, but studies are continuing.

The manure can be collected by a suction system installed under the vehicle, like "motocrottes".

On the other hand, energy recovery under braking I don't really see how we could do ...
