T3CO : Transportation Technology Total Cost of Ownership Tool

Description

This repo houses T3CO (Transportation Technology Total Cost of Ownership), software for modeling total cost of ownership for commercial vehicles with advanced powertrains.

Upgrading to 2.1? 2.1 refines the residual-value model, which lowers TCO results relative to 2.0, so rerun analyses with 2.1 when comparing results. See What's New in T3CO for this, the new visualization and results-summary modules, faster optimization, and the 2.0 changes.

Usage

T3CO is a general framework allowing a user to determine the total cost of ownership (TCO) of a vehicle (sometimes a FASTSim vehicle model paired with drivecycle(s) for determining fuel efficiency). The user can also determine performance of gradeability, acceleration, and range. In addition to straight TCO computation there is also the option to optimize a vehicle powertrain such that it meets performance optional targets while also optionally minimizing TCO.
