The car-hybrid driveline of HYTRAC has big similarity with the VOLTEC hybrid driveline inside the car type “Opel Ampera” of GM. The only difference is just one additional clutch inside the HYTRAC system. The advantages of this low cost component are lower sizes of the motors and the bargain to operate solely mechanically with higher efficiencies in special drive modes, with no convert losses.
Advantages especially against the VOLTEC Hybrid driveline inside “Opel Ampera” of GM:
Lower size of the combustion motor
Lower size of the E-motors/generators
Less production cost
Better efficiencies
