EPA Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS) Test Results Show 150+ MPG with L5 PCM

To validate the performance of the Hymotion™ L5 PCM, we conduct testing at national labs like Argonne National Labs (ANL), Idaho National Labs (INL) and Environment Canada. Shown in the plot are urban drive cycles which are repeated to gauge fuel economy. What is important in this chart are not only the fuel economy numbers, which show greater than 150 mpg while the L5 has charge; but also the gray lines showing gasoline engine speed. Based on the performance data shown in this plot, the EPA mileage sticker for this vehicle would state 150 mpg for city driving conditions. Also, you can see the vast difference in the amount of time the engine is on (refer to gray line showing engine speed) between the first five cycles while the L5 is in operation and the final cycle when the L5 is depleted, highlighting the benefit of the L5 PCM.
