Argonne’s Through-the-Road Hybrid goes to Washington, D.C., Auto Show

Argonne's Through-the-Road Hybrid Vehicle

Argonne's Through-the-Road hybrid vehicle (TTR) will be on display at the Washington Auto Show at Walter E. Washington Convention Center, February 4-8, 2009, in Washington, D.C. The TTR will be in the combined U.S. Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Transportation exhibit booth that features advanced vehicle technologies that are safe, clean, and efficient.

Due to power-split limitations, no plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) exists that can complete an Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS) cycle without starting the engine.

Argonne created the TTR, an in-house PHEV development platform with an open control system, so that high-level vehicle control strategies, such as blended mode vs. all electric mode, can be evaluated.
