ENERGY CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A HYBRID VEHICLE

摘要

Energy control system for a hybrid vehicle with at least one electrical machine and a combustion engine and at least one chargeable energy store, which system comprises a control unit and a charge level meter which is adapted to measuring the charge level of the energy store. The control unit comprises a calculation unit adapted to calculating at a time t0, inter alia on the basis of the vehicles current speed and weight, a time t1 which denotes the beginning of a retardation phase during which the vehicle is braked in order to halt at a predetermined location P, and the control unit is adapted to controlling the offtake of energy from the energy store during the period from t0 to t1 so that the charge level of the energy store at time t1 is below a predetermined low level QL.
