The paper presents the results of applying an advanced thermal management approach to a light duty commercial vehicle. The relative benefit of various thermal components, layouts and control strategies is discussed. Thermal performance along with associated fuel economy improvements are shown over various test cycles including the FTP, NEDC and US06. Results are given for a GT-Suite simulation as well as on vehicle.
