European Competitiveness in Commercial Hybrid and Automotive Powertrains (ECOCHAMPS): A Modular System and Standardization Framework (MSF) and the Development of MSF-conform Components

Abstract

The objective of the ECOCHAMPS project is to develop efficient, compact, low weight, robust and cost effective hybrid powertrains for both passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The targeted improvements are an increased functionality, improved performance, comfort, safety and emissions levels below Euro 6 or VI. In total five demonstrator vehicles will be built, which contain components that are newly developed within the project. A key topic in ECOCHAMPS is the Modular System and Standardization Framework (MSF), a pre-standard framework. Whilst for light duty vehicles (hybrid passenger cars) there are existing standards for drivetrain components and electrically driven auxiliaries, no such similar standards exist for heavy duty vehicles. This paper focuses on the MSF approach, the development of MSF-conform drivetrain components and auxiliaries, the results from the component integration into the demonstrator vehicles and the outlook for the final demonstrator vehicle assessment.
