Soaring fuel prices and tougher emission guidelines are presenting automobile manufacturers with new challenges. For many of them, the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is the answer to both problems. Combining a combustion engine with an electric motor reduces fuel consumption and toxic emissions, and at the same time makes driving more fun. Interest in this alternative form of propulsion is growing, especially in Asia and the USA. To test the electronic control units (ECU) for the hybrid drive, special dSPACE boards are used in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation, drawing on dSPACE’s years of experience in simulating electric drives.
