The potential improvement in fuel economy expected from Hybrid Electric Vehicles is between 20% and 40%, depending on the level of hybridization implemented. But in the same time, consumers want cars that are fun to drive as well as safe, comfy and ever cheaper. Translated to vehicle engineering targets, this means that seemingly conflicting engineering challenges need to be reconciled to manufacture the cars that will determine the world's future mobility. Numerical simulators at system level, allowing not only to simulate the impact of new powertrain and vehicle technologies on fuel consumption but also on other attributes like drivability and thermal comfort are now mandatory to keep the development time and cost of vehicles into acceptable limits.
