From the Table 4 the following conclusions can be drawn:

• The maximum power required to move the vehicle on this drive cycle is about 115 kW, hence, the prime mover (combination of ICE and EM in case of HEVs and EM in case of EVs) should be able to deliver the required power.
• The maximum braking power is about 101 kW and a fraction this power can be recovered by using regenerative braking.
• The maximum and minimum acceleration that the vehicle experiences are 0.83m/s² and 1.33 m/s². Since this drive cycle does not involve start-stop operation, the ICE can be used to supply the required power.
• Moreover, from Figure 6 and 7 it can be seen that the vehicle is subjected to high acceleration in the initial periods. During these periods, the power required to accelerate the vehicle can be obtained, in case of HEVs, from the combination of ICE and EM.

Federal Test Procedure FTP-75

The FTP-75 (Federal Test Procedure) has been used for emission certification of light duty vehicles in the U.S. The FTP-75 cycle is derived from the FTP-72 cycle by adding a third phase of 505s, identical to the first phase of FTP-72 but with a hot start. The third phase starts after the engine is stopped for 10 minutes. Thus, the entire FTP-75 cycle consists of the following segments cold start phase, transient phase, hot start phase. The following are basic parameters of the cycle i.e. distance travelled is 11.04 miles (17.77 km), duration: 1874s, average speed is 21.2 mph (34.1 km/h). The FTP-75 cycle is known in Australia as the ADR 37 (Australian Design Rules) cycle. Federal Test Procedure FTP-75 drive cycle is as shown in Figure 8 .

The driving cycle parameters for Federal Test Procedure FTP-75 are as shown in Table 5.

 Table 5: Parameters of FTP-75

From the Table 5 the following conclusions can be drawn:

• The maximum power required to move the vehicle on this drive cycle is about 15 kW, hence, the prime mover (combination of ICE and EM in case of HEVs and EM in case of EVs) should be able to deliver the required power.
• The maximum braking power is about 15 kW and a fraction this power can be recovered by using regenerative braking.
• The maximum and minimum acceleration that the vehicle experiences are 0.57m/s² and 0.57 m/s². Since this drive cycle does not involve start-stop operation, the ICE and EM both can supply the required power.
