ABSTRACT

Different atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature of different altitude affect the dynamic performance of vehicle. Subject to laboratory conditions, this paper builds a simulation model of a commercial vehicle based on GT-Power software to study the dynamic performance of a commercial vehicle at different altitudes by acceleration time, maximum gradability and maximum speed of vehicle evidently. Advanced turbocharging technique was deemed to be effective measure to improve dynamic performance of vehicle.
