Aplicação de baterias chumbo-ácido para veículos elétricos híbridos.

Abstract

The drive to reduce fuel consumption in the transportation sector has reached unprecedented levels in the last five years. Hybrid and electric vehicles are sought after as critical technologies that can reduce fuel consumption and emission of CO2, the increased levels of which in the atmosphere are considered a major contributor to global warming. Various governmental policies around the world are providing financial incentives for vehicle electrification, setting standards for lower fleet-average fuel consumption and even mandating the introduction of electrified vehicles. In this context, this Undergraduate Final Project presents an application study of Lead-Acid batteries for Hybrid Electric Vehicles.
