摘要：	This 18-month final evaluation is part of a series of evaluations by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Using an established and documented evaluation protocol, DOE through the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has been tracking and evaluating new propulsion systems in transit buses and trucks for more than 10 years. The DOE/NREL vehicle evaluations are a part of the Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity (AVTA), which supports DOE's Vehicle Technologies Program. The role of AVTA is to bridge the gap between research and development and the commercial availability of advanced vehicle technologies that reduce petroleum use in the United States and improve air quality. The main objective of AVTA projects is to provide comprehensive, unbiased evaluations of advanced vehicle technologies in commercial use. Data are collected and analyzed for operation, maintenance, performance, costs, and emissions characteristics of both advanced-technology fleets and comparable conventional-technology fleets that are operating at the same site. AVTA evaluations enable fleet owners and operators to make informed vehicle-purchasing decisions. This report focuses on a parallel hybrid-electric diesel delivery van propulsion system currently being operated by United Parcel Service (UPS). The propulsion system is an alternative to the standard diesel system and could enable reductions in emissions as well as reductions in petroleum use.
