摘要：	The United States (US) Army Communications-Electronics Research Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC) has been tasked by the Army's Product Manager for Heavy Tactical Vehicles (PM HTV) and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) to develop and demonstrate a suitable idling reduction auxiliary power and energy system for the next-generation M915 and family of line haul replacement tractor vehicles. Under an OSD-funded Technology Transition Initiative (TTI) program, the CERDEC has been working with the US Army Tank and Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) to determine the requirements for such an idle reduction system and share those requirements with the idling reduction industry so that an appropriate solution can be developed. Based on CERDEC estimates, the Army could potentially save up to fifteen (15) million gallons of fuel per year by fielding an idle reduction system for the M915 family of vehicles. In the first year of the TTI program several baseline activities are underway, which are critical to the success of any auxiliary power unit (APU) and auxiliary environmental control unit (ECU) system development. First, the basic hotel loads for the M915, M916, and M917 vehicles have been characterized with the assistance of the US Army Engineer School at Fort Leonard Wood, MO via an on-site power assessment. Operational requirements are to be characterized later in summer 2008, as data loggers are now being constructed for shipment into theater and integration with actual line haul trucks that are performing missions by the Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA). This in-theater power assessment will validate electrical loads, load profiles, and that the trucks are being idled as significantly as is believed by the Army. The comprehensive requirements generated from these two activities will form the basis of
