Rear Wheel Drive

This paper introduces the novice concept of “Eco-hybrid Two wheeler” which is a combination of two systems i.e. petrol and electric system. This hybrid vehicle will make use of both technologies. Petrol system will be used for rear wheel drive and the electric system for front wheel drive. The batteries will be automatically charged when the vehicle runs on petrol system and that stored power will further be used for running the vehicle on electric system and so running of vehicle on electric system will be free of cost and pollution free also. The most attractive thing is that the batteries can also be recharged from electric supply.

Braking Energy Recovery

This paper describes four conceptual designs of strong hybrid vehicle powertrains. These concepts enable conversion of conventional powertrains into strong hybrid powertrains with minimal tear-up to the existing architecture. These concepts are configured as follows: (1) incorporates an electric machine attached to the front axle of a conventional rear-wheel-drive vehicle; (2) a Flywheel-Alternator-Starter (FAS) system with a motor placed between the torque converter and the transmission; (3) same as previous one but where the torque converter is replaced by a starting clutch; and (4) a dual mode Electric Variable Transmission (EVT). These concepts provide extensive hybrid functionality such as, electric motor-only drive; launch assist, braking energy recovery and regeneration. Simulation results indicate that the proposed strong hybrid concepts have the potential to provide fuel economy gains of 19% to 26% over conventional powertrains.
