Abstract

This chapter delves into the fundamentals of hybrid vehicle drives, explaining the concept of hybridization and the degree of hybridization H. It classifies hybrid vehicle types into micro-hybrid, mild-hybrid, full-hybrid, and plug-in hybrid, each with distinct technical properties and voltage classes. The chapter also discusses various hybrid modes of operation such as load point shifting, sailing, and braking energy recovery, as well as different hybrid drive structures like serial hybrid, parallel hybrid, and power-split hybrid. Each section is richly illustrated with examples and technical details, making it a valuable resource for professionals in the automotive industry.

Footnotes
1
The correct, industry-standard designations are extra-low voltage (ELV) and low voltage (LV). However, they are not established in the automotive sector and are therefore not used in this book.
 
2
It seems that the 800 V voltage level will be more often used in the future in upper middle class and luxury class vehicles for market differentiation, even though not technically required.
 
3
The Tesla Cybertruck, launched at the end of 2023, is the first vehicle to remove the 12 V electrical system entirely and only use 48 V and 400 V.
 
4
EVT = Electric continuously variable transmission.
