29.5.2019. Hyundai Motor has developed a System which controls the torque in the electric drive of a light commercial vehicle (CV) according to the loading condition.
The unique technology uses the data from the acceleration sensor for the determination of the current vehicle weight. Hyundai wants to integrate this Innovation in future light-duty vehicles.
Unique technology for more efficiency and range
The determination of the weight in real-time allows the engineers of Hyundai, the torque output of an electric motor in accordance with the current requirements necessary to be interpreted. The System will detect less load weight, take it back, the torque ensures optimal traction. The potential by turning of the drive wheels is prevented already before to the electronic control system must reduce the torque provided. This increases the efficiency and thus the range of an electric vehicle. In addition, the technology takes into account the topography of the busy road. It recognises, for example, at the uphill section, it changes the required torque output on the Basis of the determined loading.
Hyundai has developed this technology to offer to small business owners in the future have a greater incentive to commercial vehicles with electric drive to switch. The System enables all loading and road conditions the most efficient drive performance. The customer benefits from reduced operating costs.
No expensive air suspension
In the case of many small entrepreneurs, the price competitiveness is particularly in focus. In contrast to other systems, which use for loading determination of the weight sensor, from the Hyundai-developed technology without a cost-intensive air suspension. For the determination of the loading weight of the Hyundai sensor used, use of the Newtonian acceleration law, the mass, kinetic energy and direction of motion in Relation to each other sets. Based on this data, for example, the onboard computer can calculate the remaining range is much more accurate than in the past.
Hyundai reduces greenhouse gases through the use of innovative commercial vehicle technologies
With the development of environment-friendly commercial vehicles, Hyundai is making a large contribution to the global reduction of greenhouse gases. Hyundai has established 2018, together with the Swiss company H2 Energy, the Joint Venture “Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility” and wants to deliver, by 2025, over 1,000 heavy-duty Trucks with fuel-cell drive.
