The design and testing of a microcomputer-controlled powertrain for a hybrid (heat engine/electric) vehicle are described in this paper. The detailed control strategy used and its software implementation on the Intel 8086 microcomputer are discussed. The powertrain is made up of an electric motor, gasoline engine, automatic transmission with the torque converter removed, engine and electric motor clutches, and Hy-Vo transfer chains. The drive system has been installed in vehicles and tested on a chassis dynamometer. Test results show smooth shifting of the transmission and sequencing of the clutches in the different hybrid operating modes. The overall performance of the hybrid car is good, and driveability is comparable to a conventional automobile.
