Hybrid Electric Vehicle technology will be one essential element of the next generation's drive trains to further reduce fuel consumption and emissions. The key enablers for hybrid technology during the last decade were improvements of the battery, the power electronics and the e-motor. Combustion engine technology as well has made significant development steps. The challenges for the future are now to identify optimal system designs and to integrate them successfully with respect to mechanical, electrical and thermal interfaces. The successful system integration of the hybrid electric vehicle powertrain requires extensive expertise in a wide range of vehicle related technologies, such as component modelling and simulation, efficiency simulation of each component and of the complete system, energy and power consumption simulation, vehicle performance simulation, control strategy development and integration, component packaging simulation, component cooling simulation, structural evaluation, weight distribution and vehicle handling simulation, wiring and hose routing, safety issues and driver interface design (display). This paper focuses on some of the main challenges of system integration of the hybrid electric powertrain through packaging, cooling and safety issues.
