Hybrid Electric and Electric Vehicle Solutions

In HEV applications, a high-voltage battery pack supplies energy to feed mainly the traction system, but also other electrical systems in the car.



Applications/Block Diagrams
Motion and Actuation
  The propulsion and actuation of the systems on board the vehicle are performed through electric motors. Electric traction, power steering, manual transmission, for example, are motor-control applications where STMicroelectronics is able to propose complete solutions based on its product portfolio, power electronics systems know-how and regional application lab's experience.
    HEV-EV main inverter
    Electric traction
    Electric parking brake
    Electric pump
    Automated manual transmission
    Power steering
   
Power Management
  The power converter stages that are used to interface the battery with all the electrical systems, besides basic functionality and communication characteristics, also require effective and efficient energy-management features. STMicroelectronics, with extensive experience in power management for industrial systems and automotive products, and with its wide-range product portfolio, is able to propose a complete solution to meet the power management requirements in HEV systems.
