How can we optimise energy consumption when the vehicle is in use?

Dr. Wragge-Morley received his Ph.D. from the University of Bristol. He has experience working on energy optimisation for hybrid and electric vehicles in both an academic and industrial context, including design around the often juxtaposing consumer expectations of performance and emissions. His current work within the Powertrain and Vehicle Research Centre at the University of Bath spans both the engineering and human factors aspects of emissions reduction, seeking to develop an improved understanding of the links between driver behaviour and vehicle emissions. The outcome of this work will be the design of in-vehicle systems to assist drivers in reducing tailpipe emissions with minimal impact on driver satisfaction.
