The combination of internal combustion engines and electric/hydraulic motors in hybrid powertrains requires architectural and functional changes of the drive train as well as its sophisticated energy management. The 8 papers in this technical paper collection discuss the latest developments in regard to energy recuperation and storage (hydraulic, electric), power train architectures, control systems, combustion engine strategies (including exhaust emissions related aspects and certification), and vehicle application.
