Hyundai-Enova Completes Heavy-Duty GenSet
Hyundai-Enova Innovative Technology Center Inc.
(HE-ITC) of Torrance, California, has completed
development of a 60kW GenSet for heavy-duty series
hybrid vehicles in conjunction with Enova Systems.
The 60kW GenSet is an integral component of Enova’s
HybridPower series hybrid. This is the HE-ITC’s
first commercial product to be developed and produced
by the joint research and development alliance
between the two companies.
The 60kW GenSet mates an AC induction motor to
a modern diesel that is used in Euro 3 emissions-compliant
systems. The control is a variable speed variable
frequency vector control that is mapped to the
torque profile of the diesel engine.
The HE-ITC is also developing a parallel hybrid
motor and motor controller for automotive OEMs
for prototype delivery by the end of this year.
