ABSTRACT
In this study, the influence on fuel economy testing of gasoline-powered vehicles is evaluated for various test conditions (e.g., laboratory temperature, soaking time, cooling fan, battery charge state, and driving mode tracking). It showed a difference in fuel economy results of approximately 3 % between low (88 %) and high (99 %) battery state of charge conditions because the alternator saving function has a positive effect on fuel economy. Fuel economy testing with laboratory temperature changes gave a slight reduction at 21
Key Words: Fuel economy, Battery SOC, Cooling fan, Soaking time, Laboratory temperature
