Hybrid EV modules to be developed

Development of hybrid system solutions for light and heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers across the globe will be accelerated under a partnership involving automotive drive systems manufacturer Dayco and motion control and energy conversion firm Ningbo Physis Technology (Physis).

The partnership will continue to advance the electrification of vehicles, Dayco sales and business development executive vice president Wouter Nijenhuis says.

“For more than a decade, Dayco has supplied components and sub-systems for BSG mild-hybrid powertrains, also known as P0 Architecture, that continuously improve fuel savings and reduce CO2 emissions while maintaining durability.

“Our core product and R&D teams are laser-focused on system integration and delivering best-in-class hybrid electric drives that provide industry leading efficiency and performance.”

It will provide a highly optimised and efficient Dayco Hybrid Module (DHM), for P2 hybrid architecture electrifying both light and heavy-duty hybrid vehicles as well as improving system performance and reliability, the partners say.

Modular, compact, and scalable, DHM electrifies an extensive line of both light and heavy-duty hybrid vehicles with the end goal being electrification and hybridisation in the most efficient and sustainable manner.

Dependent upon customer needs, there are unique solutions that meet exact specifications from low (48V) to high (800V) voltage solutions; and, DHM can either be fully integrated or added as a bolt-on solution to existing powertrains, Dayco explains.

 Dayco has more than 40 locations in 21 countries and over 4000 associates (www.dayco.com) while after 20 years’ development Physis is now a company growing a network of subsidiaries both in China and in Italy in new energy and automation (www.physis.com.cn/en/index.aspx).
