Abstract
Keywords: hybrid drive, 1D simulation, AMESim, feasibility study
In the last years more and more propulsion systems are developed in order to respond to the everincreasing demands on fuel economy and environment protection. Developing hybrid drive vehicles is currently a major focus of automotive industry. This is seen as the right solution on the customer’s demands for improved fuel economy, increased dynamic performances and good comfort. This paper aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of employment of 1D modeling and simulation in feasibility study. The application adopted for the exemplification is a passenger car and the software used is LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim.
