SUV Hybrid Gasoline¤

SUV Class Definition¤

The Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) class is a versatile category encompassing four-wheeled, two-axle vehicles, originally designed for cargo transportation but now primarily used for passenger mobility.

SUV Technology Model¤

The SUV technology model encompasses light trucks, including:

  • Pickup trucks
  • Sport utility vehicles (SUVs)
  • Minivans
  • Vans
  • Special purpose vehicles

These are modeled within the context of passenger transportation.

Performance Metrics1¤

The SUV class is characterized by specific annual performance metrics and usage parameters:

  • Annual Distance (dannual): The average distance covered annually by an SUV is 16,462 km.
  • Average Occupancy Rate (nlpv): The mean number of passengers per vehicle is calculated to be 1.7.
  • Utilization Factor: Set at 5%, this reflects an average daily use of 1 hour and 15 minutes per day.
  • Reference Capacity: Calculated at 63.89 passenger-kilometers per hour (pkm/h), this metric is derived from the formula:
\[ ref_{size} = \dfrac{d_{annual} \cdot n_{lpv}}{8760 \cdot c_p} \]

Where cp represents the capacity utilization percentage.

Hybrid Gasoline¤

A hybrid vehicle integrates an internal combustion engine with an electric motor. Unlike plug-in hybrids, this type of vehicle relies on a battery and an electric motor to capture kinetic energy during vehicle operation.

The hybrid vehicle features a lithium battery that is smaller compared to those found in fully electric vehicles, aimed at decreasing fuel consumption. However, the increased weight of hybrid vehicles may lead to higher fuel use.
