  4. What is Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)? Internal Combustion Engine - The hybrid vehicle has an internal combustion engine much like the one found in most vehicles. However, the engine on a hybrid is smaller and uses advanced technologies to reduce emissions and increase efficiency Electric Motor - The electric motor on a hybrid car is very sophisticated. Advanced electronics allow it to act as a motor as well as a generator. Generator - The generator is similar to an electric motor, but it acts only to produce electrical power. It is used mostly on series hybrids. Controller: Manages the power flow and determines the mode of action. Batteries - The batteries in a hybrid car are the energy storage device for the electric motor. Unlike the fuel in the fuel tank, which can only power the internal combustion engine, the batteries on a hybrid car can put energy into the motor as well as draw energy from the motor. HEV Main Components • Hybrid Electric Vehicle(HEV) uses both electrical motor and internal combustion engine.

  5. Why Hybrid Electric Vehicles? Global Warming History and Future The chief causes of global warming are burning fossil fuels, releasing them into the atmosphere, and the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Advances in Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) technology including advanced controls will not be enough to meet future emission reduction legislation. Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) form an intermediate term solution for meeting these reduced emission level requirements. Effects of Global Warming

  7. Objective To design and build research prototypes ofa hybrid electric light commercial vehicle based on the Ford Transit van, with internal combustion engine and electric motor(s) to reduce undesired emissions and to improve fuel economy while keeping the desired level of driving performance.

  8. History: FOHEV I Two prototype research vehicles were built. FOHEV I, the first prototype, is a parallel HEV with 2+2 driving capability. ICE powers the front drive while the EM powers the rear drive. A rule based HEV control strategy is used. FOHEV I was built for maintaining high performance along with the advantages achieved through hybridization. All electric driving and regenerative braking are possible.

  11. History: FOHEV II The current research prototype vehicle, FOHEV II, is a series-parallel HEV with 2+2 driving capability. ICE and/or EM1 power the front drive while EM2 powers the rear drive. HEV control strategy used maximized overall efficiency in selecting the power flow path. All electric driving, ICE shut-down, stop and go, regenerative braking and series charging are possible.

Retrofitted APM To shift the operating point of the ICE to a more efficient region necessitates the modification of the Accelerator Pedal Module in a way that the hybrid controller can interfere in the gas signal sent from the APM to the ICE-ECU.
