Abstract

See full text

A parallel hybrid drive train is provided with an internal combustion engine (ICE) that supplies mechanical power to two driving wheels of a vehicle. Each driving wheel is provided with a respective hub motor having a stator mounted to the vehicle and a rotor directly connected to the driving wheel. The interconnection between the ICE and the driving wheel is done via a cardan joint provided between the output shaft of the ICE and each driving wheel. Accordingly, when the hub motors are energized, the drive train is in a parallel hybrid mode where both the ICE and the hub motors contribute to the rotation of the wheel. The drive train may also be placed in a conventional mode when the hub motors are not energized and in a purely electric mode when the ICE is not running.
