Ability to rapidly produce proof-of-concept or pre-production systems for novel applications utilizing the following experience and team competencies:
Electric/Hybrid Plug-in Applications
- Battery charger control and charging algorithms
- State-Of-Charge monitoring for plug-in applications
- Battery depletion/sustainment algorithms to maximize value of plug-in application
Series Electric Hybrids
- Automated engine control (starting, monitoring, throttle control)
- Engine/motor/inverter/battery sizing experience
- Complete electric drivetrain control (accelerator pedal to rear wheels)
- Algorithms for engine control, power flow control
Parallel Hybrid Applications
- Complete auxiliary functionality without engine running
- Ability to recharge batteries from engine (with automated engine control)
- Motor control for propulsion as well as stationary work operation
Group Agility
- Ability to convert concept to working prototype in minimal time
- Toolbox of skills and technologies that may be rapidly adapted to new applications
Group Flexibility
- Not bound by conventional industry thinking
- History of exploring leading-edge technologies rather than building “me too” designs
