ABSTRACT:
A control system for an electrical propulsion system for a large wheeled vehicle adapted to haul a payload, the vehicle having an internal combustion engine and an electric generating means driven by the engine. The control system measures selected parameters and controls the engine and generating means to maximize output, and records historical operating data relating to the vehicle and its systems, and has a 2 digit display that provides information useful in troubleshooting problems. The control system also enhances fuel consumption by conserving fuel use, particularly on flat terrain and when the vehicle is approaching the overspeed point. Depression of the foot pedal is no longer input directly to the engine controller. Based on the amount of depression of the foot pedal, a fuel enhancement means determines the horsepower request from the operator of the foot pedal, but generates an engine rpm signal which will run the engine at only the rpm necessary to provide the power. The fuel enhancement means is further adapted to conserve fuel usage during periods of vehicle coast and electric brake by requiring minimum engine rpm to maintain sufficient cooling of vehicle equipment.
