This paper describes the results and conclusions of a demonstration project conducted in the Netherlands with ten parallel hybrid Audi DUO vehicles. The vehicles have been used for a period of two weeks by a wide range of users and user groups. By means of a user survey ECN Policy Studies has investigated the use patterns and experiences of all users. Three vehicles have been equipped with an extensive on-board monitoring system, developed by TNO-Automotive, recording speed-time profiles and various drivetrain parameters such as driving mode (ICE/battery/hybrid), battery current, voltage and state-of-charge, accelerator pedal position, gear position, temperatures and fuel consumption. Based on the outcome of the user surveys and the recorded vehicle data a set of representative driving cycles has been developed. On the rollerbench the Audi-DUO has been driven over these cycles and energy consumption and emissions have been measured. The results are compared with measurements in diesel-mode to get insight in the environmental benefits of the Audi DUO under various realistic use conditions in relation to user behaviour.
