Abstract
In order to improve on the acceleration characteristics and driving range of the electric bus, hybrid operation with battery and ultracapacitor is accepted. According to the powertrain design scheme, a method to design battery and ultracapacitor is put forward, the relationships of battery pack's capacity to acceleration time and range and the design approach of ultracapacitor based on its discharge time are established. Experimental results on electric bus BFC6100-EV showed that the acceleration time of 0-60 km/h is reduced 9 s and the range reaches 306 km, accordingly proved this method is feasible and valid.
