The University of Wisconsin–Madison FutureTruck Team has designed and built a four-wheel drive, charge sustaining, parallel hybrid-electric sport utility vehicle for entry into the FutureTruck 2000 competition. The base vehicle is a 2000 Chevrolet Suburban nicknamed the “Moollennium.” Weighing approximately 2495 kg, the vehicle uses a high efficiency, 2.4 liter, turbo-charged, compression ignition direct-injection engine supplying approximately 99 kW of peak power, and a three phase AC induction motor that provides an additional 78 kW (peak) of power. This hybrid drivetrain is an attractive alternative to the large displacement V8 drivetrain, as it provides similar performance with lower emissions and fuel consumption. The ADVISOR model predicts a combined Federal Testing Procedure (FTP) cycle fuel economy of 10.6 km/L (25 mpg) and California Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) emissions levels. These goals will be met while maintaining the full passenger/cargo capacity, appearance, and towing capacity of 3175 kg.
