The Ford Research Center Aachen, Germany, is intensively engaged in developing operating strategies and energy management concepts for hybrid drive structures. A Ford Fiesta is being used as the experimental vehicle for testing and optimizing a micro hybrid drive, focusing on control strategies for hybrid-drive-specific functions such as stop/start and regenerative braking. Ford is using a MicroAutoBox, the ControlDesk test software, and the CalDesk calibration software for this task.
