Plug-in hybrid systems newly developed by hynudai motor company

Abstract

As a solution for reducing fuel energy consumption and emissions of cars, hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) systems have been proposed and the development of technology has advanced by leap and bounce. Among the hybrid systems, a plug-in HEV (PHEV) which is a vehicle which combines the features of HEV and electric vehicle (EV) has significant potential to decrease fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. In this paper, new PHEV systems developed by Hyundai Motor Company (HMC) will be described with the attributes of the PHEV systems. The EV driving performance and configurations of HMC's PHEV systems will be described.
