Abstract: - A mobile test bench for testing energy management strategies for fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle has been obtained by modifying a Volksbot RT3 differential drive mobile robot. The robot provides the University of Salento with a low-cost system to test models and develop control strategies applicable to real scale vehicles. In fact, the prototype has been developed with the goal of implementing any control strategies by setting the instantaneous power split between the fuel cell and the batteries. H2Volks can be moved in two modes: a free mode that allow the user to simulate and acquire realistic driving cycles and a controlled mode that can be used to test different control strategies over the same driving cycle. In particular, a control strategy presented by the authors in a previous investigation has been implemented on the H2-VOLKS.
