【 摘 要 】

A global shift headed for a greener and low emissions will necessitate notable advancement in the way in which the energy is being produced and used in all logistics and transportation sector. The solar hybrid electric vehicles (SHEV) are on the peak of the list of choices available for eco-friendly and clean vehicle technologies for smart city transportation. Current cold chain vehicle consumes too much energy and cannot guarantee the perfect quality of food, which is against to the sustainable development of environment. Solar energy used in mobile mini cold storage vehicle as an auxiliary power source of on-board fuel has not been extensively investigated. SHEV setup has been constructed, and experimental verifications are presented that explicitly demonstrate utilizing the PV module adds 15-25 km to the cruising range of a HEV with the weight of 450 kg in a normal operation of the SHEV during one sunny days, and provides higher power efficiency (90.2%) and speed (24.96 km/h). SHEV mini cold storage was energy consumed 104 Wh/day at 21°C ambient temperature and its energy consumption increased with increasing ambient temperature.
