As fuel-economy challenges increase, so does the need for systems engineering. TVFE offers system-level simulations, validated at the component level with a comprehensive set of metrics that provide an objective evaluation of all relevant data.
Ricardo’s Total Vehicle Fuel Economy process is a systems approach that quickly identifies, validates and implements the most cost-effective strategies to achieve light-vehicle fuel economy and CO2 goals. TVFE can also be applied to commercial-vehicle and military sectors.
TVFE is not a software package. It is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It is a customized solution to provide the industry with an independent, unbiased approach to maximize efficiencies, minimize energy losses and decrease loads on vehicles.
