Keywords:
Efficiency in vehicles, energy light vehicles, performanceAbstract
The study aims to assess technological and operational strategies that improve the performance of light vehicles. In addition, methodologies aimed at measuring the energy consumption and emissions of vehicles are identified, on the other hand, efficient driving is evaluated as an energy efficiency strategy. The testing methodology based on United States Regulation CFR 40 and COPANT was implemented in a laboratory in the country, and it was evaluated through metrological assurance. Fuel consumption in a light internal combustion vehicle. Finally, it was concluded that, using efficient driving, an increase in performance of 15% and 20% is evident in laboratory and road tests, respectively.
