    Global climate change and energy crisis have prompted countries to accelerate their transition to low-carbon transportation, with long-distance heavy truck transportation becoming a key area due to high-energy consumption and carbon emission. At present, many practices have been carried out in China for zero emission transformation of long-distance freight transportation. Through preliminary verification, hydrogen powered heavy-duty trucks are regarded as the core path for zero carbon transformation of long-distance freight transportation due to their high energy density and zero emission characteristics. However, existing technologies face bottlenecks such as insufficient endurance, insufficient cross regional energy coordination, and poor system economy, which limit the economy and stability of hydrogen transportation systems. In this study a "hybrid energy" solution is innovatively proposed, which integrates hydrogen fuel cells and electric battery-swapping systems through standardized energy battery pack design, achieving compatibility between hydrogen and electric energy on the same chassis. The integrated battery-swapping solution solves the problems of insufficient flexibility, stability, and compatibility in the early stage of coordinated development of multiple vehicle energy sources. Analysis shows that this solution is expected to increase the single endurance of hydrogen powered heavy-duty trucks to over 800 km and reduce purchase cost by 40% through the "vehicle electric/hydrogen separation" mode. Combined with the construction of comprehensive energy supply stations, the full life-cycle cost of hydrogen energy can be reduced from 40 to below 25 CHY/kg, achieving initial parity with long-distance heavy-duty diesel vehicles throughout the life cycle. The research results provide a highly cost-effective technical solution for long-distance heavy-duty freight scenarios and offer a Chinese solution for the construction of a global zero emission freight system.

    Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) demonstrate significant potential as a new automotive power source. However, the problem of hydrogen permeation has become increasingly apparent during long-term operation, posing an important technical challenge that restricts the large-scale commercial application. Hydrogen permeation not only decreases the output voltage of PEMFCs but may also negatively impact the durability and safety of the fuel cells. To address this issue, in this paper the research progress on hydrogen permeation in PEMFCs based on existing studies is systematically summarized. Firstly, in the paper the basic principles of hydrogen permeation and its potential hazards are elaborated. Then, the transfer mechanism of hydrogen permeation before and after membrane degradation is analyzed and the latest development in permeation models is reviews. Finally, in the paper currently effective suppression measures considering the principles of hydrogen permeation are summarized and future research trends are discussed. This paper aims to provide theoretical support for enhancing the performance of PEMFCs, extending their service life, and improving system safety.

    For the problem of high temperature resistance of the flow meter at the bypass valve, a method to estimate the bypass flow is proposed based on a semi-physical and semi-empirical model in this paper. Firstly, a fuel cell engine air system is established. Compared to the traditional control structure, the air system eliminates the humidifier and adds an air circuit bypass valve.

    For the high integration and lightweight requirements of a 130 kW automotive fuel cell system, a compact hydrogen injector is designed. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods are used to examine the effect of the key structural parameters (mixing chamber length, diffuser length, nozzle exit position, mixing chamber diameter, and diffuser angle) on its performance. The fully optimized compact hydrogen ejector's total length is only 53.8% that of the original size hydrogen ejector. The steady-state characteristic test results show that the 130 kW fuel cell system equipped with the compact hydrogen ejector achieves the design requirements, with a stack efficiency of 51.3% and a system efficiency of 44.3%. The compact hydrogen ejector shows superior hydrogen recirculation performance under conditions when the stack power is less than 60 kW. Moreover, it can meet the requirements of fuel cell systems that demand a recirculation ratio greater than 0.5 under all operating conditions.

    Flow field design is the key to improve the performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). High-porosity metal foam materials have been suggested as substitute flow fields for PEMFC. In this paper, the entire morphology of the metal foam is reconstructed. A PEMFC model with four different metal foams (10 PPI, 20 PPI, 40 PPI, and 100 PPI) as the cathode flow field is established, which is compared with traditional parallel and serpentine flow fields. It is found that the metal foam flow field can strongly enhance the electrochemical reaction process by efficiently improving the transportation and distribution of reactive gases and products in the flow channel, and the larger the PPI value of metal foam material, the better the output performance. In addition, after examining the impact of various gas diffusion layer porosities on the PEMFC with metal foam flow field, it is determined that a porosity range of 0.4–0.6 is appropriate. A wide-ligament 40 PPI metal foam structural enhancement approach based on an umbrella is suggested in this study, and the output performance of PEMFC is further enhanced.

    In order to improve the stability and safety of the air supply system of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) and extend its service life, in this paper, a residual model-based fault diagnosis method for the fuel cell air supply system is proposed. A fourth-order state space model of the air supply system model is proposed, and the model error is verified to be within 1%, which ensures the accuracy and validity of the constructed model. A sliding mode observer for the air supply system is designed, and Gaussian noise is introduced to simulate the noise in the actual sensors. The results show that the observer can track the actual values better, and the estimation error is within 2%. The residuals are generated by the observer in real time to detect the system faults. For the problem of inaccurate identification of fault types by residual signals, the relative fault sensitivity function is introduced to establish the theoretical fault sensitivity feature matrix, and the Euclidean distance between the real-time system state quantities and the theoretical fault sensitivity is calculated to achieve the fault diagnosis and isolation of the air supply system. The results show that the method can quickly and accurately identify and isolate air compressor faults, pipe leakage faults and blockage faults.

    The coupling mechanism between life decay of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) and real-world driving conditions is the core bottleneck of the commercialization of hydrogen fuel vehicles (FCVS). Based on three suburban logistics fleets (60 FCVS, 2022-2024 data) in Beijing and Ningbo, in this study typical working conditions are extracted and a voltage attenuation model is constructed. The results show that: (1) the attenuation is accelerated under high frequency conditions (high frequency, long distance transport), which corresponds to the dissolution mechanism of the catalytic layer and the aging mechanism of the diffusion layer; (2) In typical suburban working conditions, the deterioration of urban working conditions is significant, which verifies that frequent start-stop accelerates platinum agglomeration and membrane damage; (3) The attenuation rate of southern coastal suburban conditions (Ningbo: high temperature and humidity, salt spray environment) is 5 times that of similar conditions in Beijing, mainly due to electrochemical corrosion of PEMFC plate; (4) High data-driven linear model fitting degree (>98%), verifies the feasibility of life prediction. This study provides quantitative support for durability design and regional operation of PEMFC.

    For the problem that Pontryagin's Minimum Principle (PMP) is only applicable to offline calculation and difficult to be applied in real vehicles, an energy management strategy for online identification of working conditions based on density clustering (DBSCAN) is proposed. This strategy combines offline training with online control, and makes full use of the fixed and fragmentary characteristics of bus routes, using the bus stops as nodes to divide the routes into multiple driving segments. During the vehicle's stop, the motor output power of the previous driving segment is identified to calculate the co-state of the next driving segment. When the vehicle starts running, the calculated co-state is applied to the PMP algorithm to complete the real-time power distribution. Finally, by constructing the simulation experiment based on real vehicle data, the proposed strategy is transplanted into the vehicle controller. The results show that compared with the current regular energy management strategy for real vehicle operation, the proposed strategy can reduce the equivalent hydrogen consumption by 17.6% and effectively maintain the state of charge (SOC) of the power battery. Moreover, each calculation step is within 60 ms, which has good real-time performance and can meet the application requirements of energy management strategies in the actual operation of fuel cell buses.

    For the operational noise problem in fuel cell systems of hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles, in this study radiator aerodynamic noise and exhaust pneumatic noise are identified as primary sources through vehicle-level NVH testing. By implementing a multidimensional integrated noise reduction solution of exhaust silencer structural optimization, centrifugal fan aerodynamic modification, and intelligent control strategies (including hydrogen valve parameter adjustment and purging strategy enhancement), effective suppression of key noise sources is achieved. The experimental results show a 5 dB(A) reduction in driver's ear-level noise under FCV steady-state conditions and a 4.7 dB(A) decrease during shutdown purging. Subjective-objective evaluation confirms the optimized acoustic performance meets engineering requirements. The research establishes a systematic noise control framework encompassing "source identification, multi-physics optimization, and system control," providing a replicable technical paradigm for NVH improvement in commercial fuel cell vehicles.

    The application of ammonia and hydrogen in internal combustion engines is recognized as an effective approach to achieve carbon neutrality. In this paper the effect of hydrogen jet swirl angles and pre-chamber injection hole swirl angles on vortex formation mechanism and combustion performance is studied based on a 2.2L displacement liquid ammonia direct injection engine equipped with active pre-chamber hydrogen injection, employing numerical simulation methods. The results show that the hydrogen jet swirl design generates intense swirl within the pre-chamber during injection, enhancing mixture homogeneity and hydrogen blending ratio, with the indicated thermal efficiency (ITE) increasing from 50.82% to 50.90%. Although the pre-chamber orifice swirl configuration increases turbulent kinetic energy by over 35% at ignition timing, it reduces flame jet velocity, consequently decreasing the ITE from 50.82% to 50.17%. Through optimization of both swirl angles, the maximum ITE of 50.9% is achieved.

    Testing performances of camera in adverse weather conditions (AWCs) is significant for improving intelligent vehicles adaptability. However, when using digital simulation to test cameras, there is the problem of poor fidelity, while physical testing suffers from high cost, long cycles, and difficulty in accurately and controllably reproducing scenarios. Therefor, in this paper, adverse weather condition Digital-Physical Fusion Simulation Camera-in-the-loop Simulation Test (DPF-CIL) method is proposed. The camera is embedded into a digital-physical fusion test environment composed of digital simulation targets and physical weather entities. Firstly, DPF-CIL platform is designed and constructed. Secondly, multi-level fidelity evaluation method for CIL platform is established at pixel, feature, and result level. The results show that when testing in AWCs such as rain, fog, and glare, the DPF-CIL is able to simulate the minimum Structural Similarity Index and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio of 0.571 1 and 27.991 1 dB, respectively, and retains the target object's contour information and the real environment with the maximum gap of 88 pixels. In addition, when testing the target recognition and ranging functions, the results vary the most at 10.10% and 13.39%, respectively. The comprehensive multi-level fidelity evaluation results are better than the pure digital simulation method under the same scenario conditions. Compared to physical testing DPF-CIL has advantages of lower cost, higher efficiency, and precise control over AWCs parameters.

    The current intelligent driving systems constructed based on AI computing are constrained by the inexplicability of AI computation and the infinite dynamics of traffic scenarios. Theoretically, they struggle to form a logically self-consistent safety system, while frequent real-world accidents have eroded industry credibility. In this paper, an innovative solution is proposed from the perspectives of information theory and systems theory: introducing a real-time verification mechanism based on comparative eigen-information and designing an industrial implementation path. Breaking through traditional paradigms, the study defines safe states and constructs an information model for traffic scenarios to demonstrate the core principle of the real-time verification mechanism. By comparing the eigen-information of the physical world and the digital world, AI calculation errors are detected in real time to ensure the system theoretically converges to a safe state during operation. Through rigorous theoretical deduction, the mechanism's principles exhibit universality, applying not only to reconstructing intelligent driving systems but also providing a new explanatory dimension for the safety principles of electronic and communication systems.

    For insufficient consideration of trajectory safety in existing spatio-temporal joint trajectory planning methods for unstructured environment, a spatio-temporal joint trajectory planning method based on spatio-temporal corridors is proposed in this paper to enable the direct generation of feasible and optimal trajectories within spatio-temporal constraint spaces. Firstly, a motion primitive tree is constructed based on the vehicle kinematic model, and an initial trajectory satisfying the vehicle’s kinematic constraints is obtained through a search of the motion primitive tree. Subsequently, a 3-D spatio-temporal corridor is generated based on the initial trajectory, providing a safe solution space in the spatio-temporal domain for trajectory optimization. Finally, within the spatio-temporal corridor, constraints such as dynamics, safety, and continuity are comprehensively considered, and the trajectory is optimized using a segmented Bézier curve method. The simulation and real-world test results show that the proposed trajectory planning method demonstrates significant advantages over the TEB algorithm in terms of safety and flexibility, while maintaining superior computational real-time performance.

    Dynamics stability of tractor-semitrailer is influenced by multiple parameters, and the influence rules and effect degree of related parameters on dynamics stability are still unclear. To this end, in this paper a 7-degrees-of-freedom dynamic model of tractor-semitrailer is established and validated in several test scenarios by comparing to the TruckSim model that is calibrated with experimental data. Then, the influence of key parameters on dynamics stability is investigated by the established model, such as vertical position of semitrailer’s mass center, axles’ cornering stiffness of the tractor and semitrailer, roll stiffness of the tractor and the semitrailer, the roll stiffness of the articulation point, and sprung mass of the trailer. On this basis, a quantitative analysis is performed with the TruckSim model, and the influence percentage rates and changing rules of key parameters are obtained. The influence percentage of the vertical position of semitrailer’s mass center is 3.14%~4.53%, sprung mass of the trailer 23.34%~34.66%, front axles’ cornering stiffness of the tractor 20.87%~30.38%, rear axles’ cornering stiffness of the tractor 21.67%~33.72%, axles’ cornering stiffness of the semitrailer 5.74%~8.48%, roll stiffness of the tractor 3.55%~6.81%, roll stiffness of the semitrailer 1.19%~3.15%, roll stiffness of the articulation point 0.33%~0.73%. The research results can provide a theoretical foundation for the optimal design and safety driving of tractor-semitrailer.

    In this paper, a low-cost sinusoidal drive control strategy for brushless DC (BLDC) motor applied to electro-mechanical brake (EMB) is studied. For the technical challenges associated with low-cost solutions, including difficulties with motor cold starting, low accuracy in rotor position estimation, and inefficient motor operation due to suboptimal phase advance angle settings, as well as low precision in motor speed calculation and control, a sinusoidal cold-start method based on motor load observers, a rotor position estimation method using low-resolution switch hall sensors, a self-adjusting phase advance angle control method based on genetic algorithms, a low-cost speed calculation method, and a speed control method based on model predictive control are proposed. The bench tests results show that the proposed control strategy effectively improves motor efficiency, expands the high-efficiency operating range, and optimizes motor performance without increasing hardware cost, thereby promoting the engineering application of EMB.

    With the development of the EV technology, vehicle active suspension systems with onboard sensors have become increasingly widespread. However, due to the existence of measurement noise in sensors, classic control algorithms struggle to gain full-state observation under mismatched disturbances of non-Gaussian measurement noise, which severely affecting the performance of the suspension control systems. In this paper, for the challenges from mismatched disturbances with measurement noise in active suspension sensors, as well as the matched disturbances of the suspension intrinsic nonlinear and unmodeled dynamics, a high-order sliding mode observer (SMO) is designed to gain full-state observation for both the sprung and upsprung subsystems. Additionally, a fixed-time sliding mode controller (FSMC) is employed to establish a globally convergent closed-loop control system for the active suspension system. The simulation results show that the proposed SMO-FSMC algorithm significantly improves ride comfort compared to LQG-based and extended observer-sliding mode control algorithm under random road profile. Furthermore, the proposed system exhibits superior state tracking accuracy for the active suspension and greater robustness against external disturbances and measurement noise compared to Kalman filters and extended observers. Besides, under speed bump scenarios, the SMO-FSMC system can effectively attenuate the vertical acceleration of the sprung mass thus improving the ride comfort.

    Distributed drive electric vehicles, characterized by multiple controllable DOFs and compact chassis structure, is an optimal platform for implementing advanced drive-by-wire chassis. For demand for extended motion functions and modular design of distributed drive electric chassis, a variable geometry suspension design method is proposed. By analyzing the chassis motion functions, the suspension design issue is transformed into a 2R1T parallel mechanism type synthesis problem. The concepts of subgroups and submanifolds are employed to establish a mapping relationship between the motion functions of the suspension linkages and their topological structures. Considering the constraint characteristics, pose capabilities, modularity, reconfigurability, and input-output motion decoupling of the mechanism, the topological structure optimization of the suspension is accomplished. Finally, a comparative performance analysis is carried out in terms of mechanism kinematics and vehicle dynamics. The results show that the suspension system based on parallel mechanism provides smooth and uninterrupted motion, without singular configurations within the posture workspace, demonstrating superior transmission efficiency and dexterity. The kinematic performance and ride comfort of the suspension system are significantly improved compared to those based on conventional configurations.

    Based on the CAERI Aero Model vehicle, the additional lift generated by wheel driving units (WDU) in the process of vehicle wind tunnel test is studied. The pressure data and flow field data of the front and rear WDU surface are obtained by wind tunnel test and numerical simulation, and the influencing factors and differences of the additional lift correction are analyzed. The results indicate that tire rotation and tire size have obvious influence on additional lift during wind tunnel test. At the same time, the test position of the model is an important factor affecting the additional lift correction. When the position of the tire relative to WDU changes, the maximum influence on the additional lift correction of the front and rear wheel is 26 and 14 counts respectively.

    The buckling deformation of the friction components of wet multi-disc clutch is one of the main failure modes of armored vehicle clutch, affecting the service life and reliability. However, there are few studies on the influence of the deformed plate on the contact pressure and temperature field of the clutch. Therefore, in this paper, the influence of the position and quantity characteristics of the deformed separate plate on the contact pressure and temperature field is studied by establishing the thermodynamic model of the clutch containing the conical deformed plate, and the validity of numerical calculation of the thermodynamic model is verified by bench tests. The results show that the contact pressure and temperature field of non-deformed plate are uneven, affected by the deformed plate. The closer to the deformed plate and the more the deformed plates are, the higher the non-uniformity is. When there are three deformed plates, the maximum contact pressure is 3.14 times that of one. The maximum thermal stress and thermal bending moment increases with the increase of the quantity, and the maximum value is -170.07 N·m (1.2 MPa, 1 800 r/min). This study provides a theoretical basis for the influence of deformed plate on clutch and buckling failure analysis.
