SUV weight = 2,000 KG
Rolling Resistance 15 kg/ton = 30 KG
Wheel Radius = 0.3 m
Necessary torque - 30 x 0.3 x 9.8 = 88 Nm
Distance @ 50 km/h - 50,000/60 = 833 m/min
RPM @ 50 km/h - 833m/(0.6m x 3.14) = 443 RPM

Power needed to operate an SUV @ 50km/hour
kW = kW = 88 x 44388 x 443 / 9550 = / 9550 = 4.1 kW or 5.5 4.1 kW or 5.5 hphp
Mechanical Requirement 4.1 kW or 5.5 hp
Auxiliaries and Air Resistance 1.2 kW or 1.6 hpTotal Power Consumption 5.3 kW or
7.2 hp
That is roughly the power of 4 coffee machines.

The specific fuel consumption of a motor is 0.275 liter per kWSpecific means fuel in - power out, including efficiency of the motor.
The fuel consumption to operate an SUV @ 50km/hour for one hour
Fuel Consumption = 0.275 (liter/kW) x 5.3 kW= 1.45 liter
Theoretically such a car should have a fuel consumption of:
2.9 liter/100km or 34 km/liter

Reality Check – Theory versus FactReality Check – Theory versus Fact
Manufacturers’ specified specified Gearbox Efficiency: 95%95%Fuel consumption should therefore be:
kWh / Efficiency x SFC for 100 km = 5.3 / 0.95 x 0.275 x 2 =
3.06 liter/100 km or 32.7 km/liter3.06 liter/100 km or 32.7 km/liter
In reality fuel consumption of this SUV @ 50km/hour is about:
8.5 liter/100km or 11.1 km/liter8.5 liter/100km or 11.1 km/liter
ActualActual Gearbox Efficiency @ 50 km/h:
(3.06 x 0.95) / / 8.5 8.5 x 100 =x 100 = 34%34%

e-Tractione-Traction®® powered powered WhisperWhisper™™ Bus Bus
Emissions are to a large extend a function of fuel consumption, thus Annual Fuel Savings: (annual mileage ÷ current km/l) - (annual mileage ÷ WhisperWhisper™™ km/l)
for example: (90,000 km ÷ 2 km/l) - (90,000 ÷ 6) = 30,000 liters per year
Annual CO2 emission reduction: @ 2.648 kg per liter of diesel
79.4 metric tons per year
* Currently in testing – already achieving a greater than 80% reduction
The Whisper produces only (100% - 66.7%) * 0.8 = 6.7% of the PM2.5 particles of an average Dutch city bus.

How decides if this revolution is going to work.
Lets have a closer look at the stakeholders in the chain of those how will benefit from innovations.
3 different groups can be identified.
How decides if this revolution is going to work.
Group number 1
High Priority
A: Inhabitants of cities and bus users.
B: Local Governments
C: Regional Governments / Central Government
Cleaner air.
Less noise.
Lower cost of heath care.
Lower cost of transportation.
How decides if this revolution is going to work.
Group number 2No high Priority
A: Bus operators
B: Bus builders
Risk of innovation.
No back up from the authorities.
No incentive because rule are not necessary to fulfill.
Afraid of cost increase in service and maintenance.
Strong demand in reliability from authorities
no guarantee that they can keep fuel reduction.
How decides if this revolution is going to work.
Group number 3No Priority at all
A: Chassis manufacturing.B: Suppliers of classic technology (motor/gearboxes).C: Producer of Hardware like bolts en nuts .
Risk of innovation.
No connection with the authorities.
Production cost will be higher.
Strong demand in reliability from bus builder and operators.
Do not benefit from fuel and maintenance reduction.
Have to school new generation of service and maintenance personnel.
Group number 1 decides if this revolution is going to work.
