Using hybrid propulsion to downsize engines while retaining performance
Project Highlights
- Development of a hybrid powertrain and e-clutch for vehicles with manual gearboxes, enabling engine downsizing
- The technology offers flexibility through selection of different drive modes for full EV, hybrid or conventional combustion engine propulsion
- Powertrain engineered an fitted in a demonstration vehicle 13 knowledge gained can be applied to other vehicles
- Potential for fuel economy and CO2 savings across a range of platforms
- £500,000 project value with £250,000 funding from the APC
