What is it about?

The main purpose of the paper is to determine the change in vehicle energy efficiency due to using the air conditioning system. There is a connection between the changes in vehicle energy efficiency and fuel consumption together with time needed for vehicle acceleration.

Why is it important?

Using the A/C has different impact on the fuel consumption which depends on the actual operation conditions like actual ambient temperature, engine volume, A/C compressor type, vehicle, speed, engine speed and others.

Perspectives

According to the calculations, having the air conditioner switched on would have caused a significant increase in vehicle energy efficiency even during the NEDC test.
