Abstract:This final report details the development of the University of Idaho hybrid-electric sport utility vehicle and gives an overview of the requirements, summarizes design features and illustrates research results. The University of Idaho Advanced Vehicle Concepts Team successfully completed the development of a parallel, hybrid-electric sport utility vehicle. At the 2002 FutureTruck competition, the vehicle placed seventh overall among 15 teams, was one of only three vehicles to attain ultra-low emission vehicle standards, and placed second in the acceleration event and first in the trailer tow event. The team also won an award for the most innovative use of aluminum. This success was the culmination of a year-long effort by a multidisciplinary student team that followed business principles to optimize engineering, education, and evaluation outcomes.
