GT-DRIVE+ Framework
Standardized model generation and integrated data management for conventional, hybrid, and electric vehicles
Solutions
Performance, Fuel Range, and Emissions
Model vehicle performance, fuel economy, and emissions using static, kinematic, and dynamic analysis, for any vehicle type or drive cycle.
Multi-Fidelity Vehicle Simulation
GT-SUITE supports multiple vehicle simulation modes for every stage of the development cycle. Static analysis delivers fast conceptual results, backward kinematic analysis refines early performance targets, and forward dynamic analysis captures full system behavior for detailed evaluation. Building vehicle models is fast thanks to automated model builders and pre-filled component libraries. Teams can run pre-defined or custom maneuvers, including regulatory driving cycles, wide-open throttle (WOT) tests, hill starts, and tip-ins, without building each scenario from scratch.

Performance, Fuel Range, and Emissions FAQ
Answers to the most common technical questions engineers ask when evaluating GT-SUITE for vehicle performance and fuel economy simulation.
What types of vehicle performance and fuel economy analysis can GT-SUITE perform?
Performance, fuel economy, and emissions can be modeled for any vehicle type, from conventional to hybrid and electric. Static, kinematic, and dynamic simulation modes support every stage of development, with automated tools for running standard or custom driving maneuvers.
How does GT-SUITE handle regulatory driving cycles and real-world testing scenarios?
Pre-defined test cases cover standard regulatory driving cycles, and custom maneuvers can replicate real-world conditions. Automated outputs keep results consistent and repeatable, while the GT-DRIVE+ framework adds further efficiency through standardization and data management.
How does GT-SUITE integrate high-fidelity engine and thermal models for accurate vehicle-level predictions?
High-fidelity engine, thermal, and aftertreatment models can be integrated directly into a vehicle simulation. The GT-DRIVE+ framework lets engineers swap components and fidelity levels without rebuilding the model.
How does GT-SUITE support vehicle development from concept design through system integration?
A scalable simulation path runs from early concept work through full system integration. The GT-DRIVE+ framework is built to handle growing vehicle complexity, including electrification and thermal management demands.
