Abstract

The first cars in the history were purely mechanical devices and were designed based on the model of carriages drawn by horses. Since then, automobiles are much developed and represent a marvel of complex interdisciplinary engineering. Indeed, automakers have more and more integrated new technologies in vehicles to meet customer needs. Among these new technologies, there are hybrid vehicles that were developed to overcome the problems of the environment’s pollution and to avoid energy crises. In this work, one type of hybrid vehicle was focused on, which is the electric hybrid vehicle with two-wheel drive. Various subsystems of this vehicle is presented and its dynamic model is developed using AMESim software. The operating New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) is used to compare our simulation results and to optimize the functioning of the system.
