Nov 1, 2013 - More than at any time in automotive history, performance factors are based on interdependencies that ripple throughout the vehicle, particularly for hybrids that combine combustion engines with electric propulsion systems Modelon, a worldwide supplier of products and services for system design and optimization, recently used a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach to evaluate and balance multiple performance attributes for an e4WD hybrid car. Today, we can effectively manage small In-house computational fluid dynamics (CFD) expertise includes cooling system, induction, exhaust, and catalyst flow visualization and optimization. May 24, 2014 - The powertrain is at the heart of vehicle design; the engine – whether it is a conventional, hybrid or electric design – provides the motive power, which is then managed and controlled through the transmission and final drive components. Feb 15, 2012 - The second section will discuss distributed generation, how it can be integrated within the power grid, and what the communication needs are to make such integration possible. Nov 29, 2010 - Its focus is on powertrain systems, including digital power conversion, power management and system integration, focusing chiefly on vehicle power generation. Known as the Honda SPORTS HYBRID Intelligent Dual Clutch Drive system, the new setup is a lightweight and compact one-motor hybrid solution optimized for small-sized vehicles. The system: Can run a wide variety The Hybrid Vehicle Powertrain Dynamometer Test System can control the entire testing process by communicating directly with integrated controllers via CAN bus or other vehicle network. Nov 13, 2012 - Headquartered in Luxembourg, and with its development center in Uppsala, Sweden, ElectroEngine is specializing in complete and scalable powertrain systems that are optimized for electric vehicle applications. Sep 13, 2012 - The luxury vehicle features five driving modes, ECO, which is designed to optimize fuel economy; EV mode, which allows the vehicle to travel short distances in electric-only mode; SPORTS mode, which emphasizes performance; SPORT S+ mode, which The vehicle's safety systems include standard Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM), which anticipates the driver's loss of vehicle control and manages all of the vehicle's dynamic handling systems. Dec 14, 2013 - The Hybrid Vehicle Powertrain Dynamometer Test System comes equipped with a specially configured version of SAKOR's DynoLAB™ EM modular data acquisition and control system optimized for testing hybrid drivetrains. Nov 13, 2012 - Honda today revealed information on its new hybrid powertrain system that will replace the outgoing Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system on its Civic sedan, Fit, Insight and the CR-Z Coupe. Aug 17, 2011 - With the backing of Warburg Pincus, we will be able to build on our recent accomplishments, taking the powertrain technology that we have developed and integrating it into high-volume production vehicles.” For Warburg Pincus, the investment “Mission Motors has developed innovative and flexible electric drive system technology, which can be applied to a range of vehicle types,” said Michael Graff, a managing director at Warburg Pincus. Apr 25, 2013 - That fits the Geely joint venture, the Michigan firm responsible for powertrain, chassis, vehicle dynamics and system integration, among other elements of the EV project, said Lam. Apr 9, 2009 - -Atkinson V6 gasoline engine with 275 hp and optimized fuel economy In the search for the optimum hybrid system for the premium auto sector, one thing was absolutely clear to development engineers right from the very earliest stages of the concept phase – a Mercedes-Benz SUV with a hybrid driveline will have to At the same time, the hybrid powertrain system should emphasize the innovative strength and leading technological excellence of the company. Apr 8, 2012 - FEV: Development and refining of diesel engines from combustion through aftertreatment systems. With the emergence of advanced vehicular technologies, however, research efforts have been directed toward advanced batteries and storage systems, engine and power train control, and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) optimization. The third section will study the benefits of . As FEV has grown, we have prepared ourselves for the increasing complexity inherent in large, cross-functional powertrain development and vehicle integration programs. With several patents in the areas of battery management, battery packaging and electric With the integrated TEBS® this provides the possibility for repairing battery packs at the service level. €�We have been working alongside Geely for some time to optimize the EV drive technologies for integration into the vehicles and this partnership will now fast-track both Geely and Detroit Electric to (help them) realize the great EV market potential in the Chinese market,” Lam added.
