Objectives of the Course

The main objective of the "Hybrid Vehicle Technology" course is to provide students with both theoretical and practical knowledge of the structure, operating principles, energy management strategies, and safety protocols of hybrid powertrain systems, where traditional internal combustion engines and electric motors work together.

Course Content

This course covers hybrid vehicle architectures (micro, mild, full, and plug-in hybrids) that utilize both internal combustion engines and electric motors. Throughout the course, energy management strategies that manage power flow according to the vehicle's driving conditions, regenerative braking systems that convert kinetic energy into electricity during braking, and the structure of high-voltage batteries are technically examined. Furthermore, students are given practical instruction on high-voltage safety (OHS) procedures, which are critical in the maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting of hybrid vehicles.
