The objective of this paper is to estimate characteristics parameters of two wheeler powertrain with simulated vehicle model. The evaluation is applied to define required characteristics for future motor integrated powertrain. The main parameters for the characteristics matrix are Fuel consumption and NOx gas emission. In the 1st phase of work, a mathematical model for the complete powertrain is developed using suitable modelling approach for different sub-modules of the complete system. The objectives of the model are, to simulate dynamic power-flow from the engine to wheel and to simulate NOx gas emission. The powertrain model consists of a carburetted spark ignition (S.I) engine and gear transmission system. The S.I engine model is capable of simulating dynamic torque output of engine as well as the NOx gas emission. The model is experimentally compared with available test data of production ready engine from TVS Motor Company, India.
