Introduction to Hybrid Powertrains Webinar Recording

This recording is a capture of the most recent offering of the Introduction to Hybrid Powertrains Webinar available for release.

Although hybrid powertrains have been on the market for little more than a decade, hybridization has quickly become one of the most successful alternative powertrains available today. Some OEMs estimate that up to 80% of their light-duty vehicles will require some level of hybridization to meet upcoming CAFE regulations in the United States. Additional market drivers, such as California's greenhouse gas legislation (now adopted or in process in 20 US states and two Canadian provinces) and a possible global agreement on greenhouse gas production at the end of 2009 may help to accelerate the process.

Basic information on hybrids is scattered among information sources, and is often difficult to synthesize. In this two-hour webinar, energy storage systems, inverters, motor-generators, and DC-DC converters are explained, as well as design considerations for both light-duty and heavy-duty vehicle powertrains and developing trends such as plug-in, flywheel and hydraulic hybrids.
