A hybrid vehicle, a compromise between the IC and electric options, can offer the best of both petroleum and electric vehicle worlds. A Phase I study by General Electric was undertaken to advance the state of the art. This paper describes in some detail the hardware developed in the program. The drive train is outlined. The Test Bed Mule, with single-shaft drive, and another Hybrid Power Train Mule (a modified Oldsmobile) employing a two-shaft power drive, are tested. A simplified propulsion sequencing diagram and a heat engine feedback control block diagram are given. A hybrid and electric vehicle simulation program (HYVEC) schematic diagram was employed to perform second-by-second simulation of the operation, as shown. Finally, the comparison between predictions and test data is seen to be quite good, which indicates the probability of successful operation of the prototype hybrid.
