High Efficiency Auxiliary Drive (COF-G14-01)
This demonstrator project investigated using a new type of digital hydraulic machine to improve the efficiency of auxiliary drives on diesel multiple units (DMU), with the expectation that this would lead to a significant reduction in fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions. To further improve efficiency, some alternative hydraulic circuits and novel control strategies were also investigated.
