2. Optimal Powertrain Dimensioning and Potential Assessment of Hybrid Electric Vehicles
Abstract : Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), compared to conventional vehicles, complement the traditional combustion engine with one, or several electric motors and an energy buffer, typically a battery and/or an ultracapacitor. This gives the vehicle an additional degree of freedom that allows for a more efficient operation, by e.g. READ MORE
