Applications are being requested for the acquisition and proof-of-concept testing of a hybrid powertrain in a class 4 through class 8 truck. Testing of hydraulic hybrid or hybrid electric trucks should focus on attainable emissions reductions based on appropriate mission profiles or drive cycles.
Projects proposed in response to this RFGA should identify the incremental cost of the hybrid technology above conventional drive systems and seek to quantify and demonstrate the emissions and performance benefits of hybrid trucks compared to the same or similar trucks with a conventional drivetrain. Eligible projects will be limited to class 4 and higher trucks and must include a diesel engine as part of the hybrid drivetrain. Emissions testing should be performed under controlled conditions at an approved testing facility. In-field testing and performance evaluation shall also be accomplished to verify facility tests. Any proposed drive cycles or missions profiles must be approved by the NTRD grant manager.
It is anticipated that a total of $2,500,000 will be awarded for projects ranging from $100,000 to $500,000. A cost share equal to a minimum of 20% of the total project costs is required.
