CONTROL METHOD OF THE FUNCTIONING MODE OF A HYBRID DRIVE ASSEMBLY FOR VEHICLES AND A HYBRID DRIVE ASSEMBLY USING SAID METHOD

摘要

A management method of a hybrid drive assembly for vehicles, in particula r scooters, comprising at least one engine (3) and an electric machine (32). The method comprises the phases of operating the engine that it does not pr ovide torque and operating the electric machine that it functions as generat or for charging an accumulator (36) when the torque requested is negative. O perating the engine and/or the electric machine to satisfy the required torq ue, and/or bring the accumulator to a pre-established charge level and/or ru n the engine under maximum efficiency regime conditions, when the torque req uired is positive and lower than the maximum torque which can be supplied by the internal combustion engine; and operating the internal combustion engin e and/ or the electric machine with the supply of a propulsive torque so as to satisfy the torque required, when the desired torque is positive and high er than the maximum torque which can be supplied by the engine. Furthermore, when requested by the pilot and in accordance with the charge level of the batteries (36), the control method switches off the engine and drives the el ectric machine only to supply the torque requested.
