Abstract

The plug-in hybrid vehicle has been taken as one of the main streams of electric vehicles world wide with the development of battery technology and the remaining obstacles by the fuel cell to be broken through. Fuel cell plug-in vehicle will follow the engine plug-in vehicle because of the more and more strict control of warm house gas emission. For the time being, lithium battery is still expensive and safety problem remains. The performance of ultra capacitor has been significantly improved and the price goes down rapidly because of being used on harbor vehicle and mechanical facilities such like container/cargo cranes in-small-batch. It has become the very elements of ESS for energy regeneration such like the transit buses. The paper will present a FC plug-in hybrid transit bus with ultracapacitors and NiMH batteries. The design and simulation will be covered in the paper.
