Volume II, Supplement to Design Trade-Off Studies Report Volume I reports on work done on Task 2 and is part of a series which documents the results of Phase I of the Near-Term Hybrid Vehicle Program. Phase I was a study leading to the preliminary design of a five-passenger vehicle utilizing two energy sources (electricity and gasoline/diesel fuel) to minimize petroleum usage on a fleet basis. Reports submitted by subcontractors on: Heat Engine Trade-Off Study; Assessment of Battery Power Sources; and Vehicle Technology are reproduced. Material from a number of internal General Electric studies is summarized. These include pertinent studies of the: Proposed Development Program on Advanced Electric Vehicle; Centennial Electric Car; Electric Vehicle ac Drive Study; Propulsion System Design Trade-off Studies; Producibility Analysis; and Required Motor and Controller Data.
