Based on the experiences from the previous project the following themes will be reinforced:
- Precise ascertainment of fuel consumption, exhaust and noise emissions
- Energetic balancing of the main ancillary units
- Simulation and use profile analysis to identify primary influencing factors on fuel consumption
- Analysis of the impact of operational concepts and driver behaviour
- Analysis of route profiles and topological features and their impact on mode of operation
- Examination of consumption development in terms of operating life
- Observation of weather-related differences in consumption and availability (winter vs. summer months)
