Profile

Looking for a high torque electric motor for parallel hybrid heavy duty special vehicles

What we offer:
Performance and acceleration temporary improvements is one main request of heavy duty special and defence vehicles customers. According environmental care needs and technology opportunity, request could be satisfied by adding one electric motor in parallel to the existing thermal engine. This solution, covered by a patent, allows to have some important advantages:
• Use of standard NP engine
• Important temporary acceleration improvement
• No major change on drive train lay out
• No fuel consumption and pollution increase
• Improved “engine brake” effort
• Hybrid mode functionality capability

Available hybrid system industrial components doesn’t comply this specific application in terms of electric motor torque or dimensions.


What are we looking for:
A large EU commercial vehicle manufacturing company is looking for a high torque electric motor for heavy duty special and defence vehicles acceleration temporary improvement

Main electric motor specification are as following:

• Maximum torque 1000 Nm (1000 r.p.m.)
• Max. mechanical speed 3000 r.p.m.
• P.M. synchronous or asynchronous technology
• Radial or axial flux
• External dimensions according SAE 1 flywheel housing (max 440 mm diameter)
• Overall max. length 200 mm
• Liquid cooling 90 °C
• Automotive standards compliant
• 300 Arms inverter controlled (not included)

Timing and target costs:

• 2010 prototype
• 2011 preseries
• 2012 production
o 10 units/year 10.000 Euro/unit
o 100 units/year 5.000 Euro/unit

Housing, mechanical interfaces and on board integration:

To be defined according electric motor technology and vehicle application.

Keywords:
- Electronics, Microelectronics
- Buses, trucks and heavy vehicles
- Hybrid and Electric vehicles
