As a solution for reducing fuel energy consumption and emissions of cars, hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) systems have been proposed and the development of technology has advanced by leap and bounce. Among the hybrid systems, a plug-in HEV (PHEV) which is a vehicle which combines the features of HEV and electric vehicle (EV) has significant potential to decrease fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. In this paper, new PHEV systems developed by Hyundai Motor Company (HMC) will be described with the attributes of the PHEV systems. The EV driving performance and configurations of HMC's PHEV systems will be described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
