Conclusions
Summary
Electrified auxiliaries enable Start/Stop and Zero Emission
Driving;
The electrification of the PSP and of the ACC brings
significant improvements in fuel consumption;
Variable flow control decreases the fuel consumption of the
PSP with approx. 50%
Future work
Develop improved control algorithms at unit level;
Synthesize a supervisory optimal controller for the
auxiliaries (integrated with the topology/techonology
selection).

Conclusions
Thank you!
