Abstract

Hybrid vehicles make use of multiple power sources to optimise the efficiency of the overall power-train. The majority of the hybrid power trains are optimised for operation in urban driving and drop efficiency when operated on extra-urban or highway conditions. The DuoDrive is a hybrid-electric drive-train that can be fitted in place of the gearbox in a conventional vehicle, offering series and parallel hybrid operation without the need of complex gearing as used in power-split devices. The DuoDrive system is especially relevant to vehicles operating in start/stop urban drive cycles, such as taxis and delivery vans. Due to the dual mode operation which allows series or parallel operation the system offers best efficiency for all driving conditions. This system is only possible due to the high torque axial fluxes machines developed which allow a system without gears.
