Abstract

Improving environmental friendliness and fuel economy are major driving forces of automotive RTD. New drive systems like Hybrids are therefore investigated with strong interest in order to proof their potentials versus continuously improving state of the art technology.

This discussion on series and parallel hybrid concepts provides information on the characteristics of these drive systems in typical applications like city driving as well as cross country touring. The main components to build hybrid control strategies are explained and investigated. Finally an overview on the influence of emission-free operational range vs. change in fuel consumption is presented.
