Abstract

This paper shows how a new generation of digital hydraulic machines can be used to create a series hybrid transmission for a diesel-powered railcar, with gas accumulators used for on-board energy storage. Simulation results are provided for a concept passenger vehicle based on this technology, showing improvements to performance and fuel consumption. The conversion of a demonstration vehicle is described and test results are presented.
