Master Thesis

Analysis of Power Take Out (PTO) Used on Internal Combustion Engine for Future Applications and Alternative Fuels

Background

This project will focus on the analysis of the power take out (PTO), used within the traditional internal combustion engine (ICE). While there is significant development ongoing in the field of electrical trucks, our team at base engine are constantly working on advancing ICE technology, for instance with the introduction of new, more sustainable fuels.

An important aspect to understand and develop the PTO is to identify the usage patterns from the perspective of end users. This is important as we plan to introduce new and innovative ways to integrate PTO into both current and future truck applications.

After gathering data from the end users, the findings will be used to design a new specialized test rig for the PTO.

Project description and objectives

The objective is to understand the end usage for different applications of the PTO. The data will be collected from existing data points and through analysis from the end users. After collecting the data it will be used as base for a concept for a new test rig.

The project will include:

·  Collecting and analyzing data from end users
·  Identify the duty cycle for the different applications
·  Develop a concept for a test rig that could evaluate the applications

Profile

We are looking for two students studying a Master of Science in mechanical engineering, mechatronics engineering, electrical engineering or similar. The candidates should have a genuine interest and curiosity for the subject, as well as excellent analytical and communication skills.

Location, Duration and Compensation

During the master thesis you will be working with our global team at Volvo Technology, where the closest team is in Lundby.

The work shall reward 30 credits during the spring semester of 2025.

Compensation will be made according to the Volvo Group Master Thesis Policy.
