| 20080243325 | OPTIMAL ENGINE OPERATING POWER MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR A HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE POWERTRAIN - A method is disclosed for managing power in a hybrid electric vehicle powertrain having multiple components, including an engine, a motor, a generator and a high voltage battery. Power losses in the individual components are computed. An engine speed corresponding to a minimum value for the power losses is selected to achieve optimal total powertrain efficiency. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20110010032 | Optimal Engine Operating Power Management Strategy for a Hybrid Electric Vehicle Powertrain - A method is disclosed for managing power in a hybrid electric vehicle powertrain having multiple components, including at least two of a group comprising an engine, a motor, a generator and a high voltage battery. Power losses in the individual components are computed. An engine operating speed and torque for a given vehicle speed and total power command is determined so that total power losses for powertrain components are minimized. | 01-13-2011 |

| 20090205886 | HYBRID VEHICLE POWERTRAIN WITH IMPROVED REVERSE DRIVE PERFORMANCE - A hybrid-electric powertrain for a wheeled vehicle having an internal combustion engine, an electric generator, an electric motor and a battery. Transmission gearing establishes multiple torque flow paths including a forward drive torque flow path and a reverse drive torque flow path, the motor being isolated from forward drive gearing elements as it acts as a sole reverse drive power source. | 08-20-2009 |

| 20110166733 | PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE BATTERY STATE OF CHARGE HOLD FUNCTION AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT - A plugin hybrid electric vehicle includes an internal combustion engine, a battery, an electric machine, and a controller. The vehicle is operable in a primary electric vehicle driving mode (EV mode) and in a hybrid electric vehicle driving mode (HEV mode). The controller is programmed to receive input from the driver representing a desired operating mode and a desired energy reservation. If the desired operating mode is HEV mode, then a state of charge (SOC) offset is established as the smaller of a maximum SOC offset and an allowable SOC offset, otherwise, the SOC offset is established based on the desired energy reservation. The vehicle is operated based on the SOC offset. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20100049390 | Powertrain for a Hybrid Vehicle with All-Wheel Drive Capability and Method for Controlling Wheel Slip - A hybrid-electric powertrain and control method for a vehicle having forward traction wheels and rearward traction wheels in an all-wheel drive configuration. An engine and an electric motor deliver power through delivery paths to the traction wheels. The power delivery paths may have multiple ratio gearing so that more power can be delivered mechanically to improve powertrain performance and to allow the electric motor size to be reduced. The powertrain includes a controller for automatically balancing power distribution to the forward and rearward traction wheels to avoid wheel slip. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100276218 | HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE POWERTRAIN HAVING HIGH VEHICLE SPEED ENGINE STARTS - A hybrid electric vehicle powertrain includes an electrical power source with an electric motor, a generator and a battery. A mechanical power source is an engine with a direct-start fuel injection feature. The direct-start feature provides engine starting torque at high vehicle speeds during a transition from a fully electric drive mode to a drive mode using both power sources. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110172865 | Method For Optimizing Powertrain Efficiency For A Vehicle - A vehicle powertrain includes an engine, an electric machine operable to output torque to at least one vehicle wheel, and an electric power source operable to provide electric power to the electric machine. A method for optimizing powertrain efficiency includes generating a plurality of three-dimensional maps of optimized engine speeds for combinations of vehicle power and vehicle speed at a plurality of predetermined powers of the electrical power source. Each of the maps corresponds to one of the predetermined powers of the electrical power source. The maps are used to determine an optimized engine speed for a given power of the electrical power source, a given vehicle power and a given vehicle speed. | 07-14-2011 |
