Summary
Increasingly stringent ecological and economical requirements for motor vehicles are pointing more and more towards the use of electric propulsion technology in the drivetrain alongside further optimization of engines and transmissions. Many different levels of hybridisation can be achieved by designing modular hybrid-specific components such as start/stop systems, integrated electric motors, power electronics, scalable battery systems, and auxiliary equipment, and by using these in clever combinations.
