    The European Union issued COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2018/1832, which requires vehicles to be equipped with devices, i.e. On-Board Fuel and/or Energy Consumption Monitoring (OBFCM)devices, which can measure fuel consumption in real time, requires the accuracy of the collected data and requires that the fuel consumption data stream should meet the current vehicle-machine communication standards. In this paper, the feasibility of vehicle terminal coverage of OBFCM is studied by comparing and analyzing the OBFCM device and the policy, function and technology of vehicle fuel consumption monitoring in real time. The results show that the vehicle terminal coverage OBFCM device can be applied in all aspects above, and has great development prospects. China should carry out the collection of driving data for fuel consum-ption as soon as possible and establish relevant industry standards.

    In the in-vehicle simplified Chinese display standards, 3 safety related questions need to be explored and established: (1)The minimum character’s height that drivers can read on in-vehicle screens; (2)The maximum number of characters that drivers can accept in a single information prompt; (3)The total number of characters that drivers can read when completing one non-driving task. Based on 3 types of experiments on a test bench through a 128-person within-subject design, results suggest: (1)The automobile cockpits information display should use a minimum simplified Chinese character font height no less than 16’ arc minutes; (2)A single message prompt in automobile cockpits contain no more than 12 characters; (3)The total characters for messages in a single non-driving task no more than 30 characters.

    Engine misfire is a major problem affecting the high quality of the vehicle, and misfire problem of heavy natural gas vehicle for China VI is a difficult problem in the industry. In this paper, the actual misfire problem of a heavy-duty natural gas vehicle is studied. Based on the field of vehicle calibration, the causes of misfire in hardware and software are analyzed, and the calibration improvement scheme related to Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and excess air ratio(λ) module is studied in depth. The scheme combination aims to solve typical vehicle misfire problems in plateau, high cold, high temperature and mountainous areas, and has good application effect on this model, providing a new calibration perspective and ideas for solving misfire of heavy duty natural gas vehicle.

    According to the performance requirements of the thermal management system for the fuel cell engine, the thermal management system of a fuel cell engine is taken as the research object, combined with the selection scheme of parts and pipeline design, the fluid model of the thermal management system is established, including the water pump, the thermostat, the radiator, the PTC and pipelines. At the same time, the flow resistance characteristics of the components are analyzed, and the heat transfer coefficient of the radiator is calculated. Finally, the influence of the components on the flow resistance and temperature of the thermal management system is studied by fluid simulation in the situation of large cycle and small cycle. The calculation and analysis can provide guidance and basis for the design of the thermal management system of the fuel cell engine.

    Thermal management is one of the key technologies of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) vehicles, which affects the power performance, fuel ecomomy, safety and life of the vehicle. In view of the shortcomings of the traditional thermal management control strategy (on-off strategy), this paper proposes to maintain the inlet and outlet water temperature of the fuel cell system at the target value by controlling the fuel cell thermostat opening and fan speed. The multi-fan speed distribution strategy and control strategy of over temperature treatment, together with PID realize the rapid response of the thermal management system of the fuel cell system. The results show that, compared with the traditional on-off strategy, the optimized PID adaptive regulation strategy can quickly respond to the target operating temperature requirements of the fuel cell system, and enable the fuel cell to run at higher power under extreme working conditions. The battery system and vehicle performance have been greatly improved.
