Hybrid controls engineering
Hybrid vehicles require the integrated control of multiple power sources. The instantaneous selection of the most appropriate power sources requires a coordinated energy management strategy for the entire hybrid vehicle powertrain.Our Approach
By drawing on our extensive experience in the modelling of hybrid powertrains, MAHLE Powertrain can begin optimising hybrid system energy management strategies from the very inception of a project. The control strategy can be developed and tested on the bench using both Software-in-Loop (SIL) & Hardware-in-Loop (HIL) techniques.
- Advanced hybrid vehicle modelling capability
- Rapid hybrid energy management strategy development within the simulation environment
- In-the-loop development of actual controller software
- Open architecture MAHLE Flexible controller
