There will be one retrofit parallel design for the CTA bus, while for the school bus there will be a new and a retrofit parallel design. All vehicle simulations and structured testing will be performed using ADVISOR, as well as other software packages available in the Power Electronics and Motor Drives Laboratory at IIT. Designed heavy-duty vehicles will be simulated and their performance as well as fuel economy and emissions under different conditions will be studied.
