However more energy efficient alternative powertrains, like hybrid powertrains, become more  and more attractive. The major reasons are the  reduced cost of electrical components and the risk of higher fossil fuel prices. Many design options are present when it comes to  powertrain design. The powertrain components  can be configured, chosen and sized in numerous ways. The most cost effective choice depends on factors  like fuel price, application and interest rate.  Especially in future when many powertrain concepts  will be offered, it will not be clear for a customer  which powertrain to choose. In this thesis a method for transforming  prerequisites to cost effective powertrains is  presented. Powertrains are ranked by evaluating the  life-cycle cost. Fuel-, capital- and  component wear cost are included in the life-cycle  cost. In one case study a powertrain is adapted to a city bus route in Sweden. It is indicated  that new powertrain technologies can be competitive  from a cost perspective, in some applications,  already at present time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838321417\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Method Utlizing Simulation and Optimization\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838321417","offer_id":39498918363229,"sku":"9783838321417","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/e0f10415-c084-4dbc-954b-41337d63f32c.jpg?v=1757654451","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/cost-effective-design-of-hybrid-powertrains-von-jonas-hellgren","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
