Abstract: Recently, Environmental problems are becoming more and more important issues in the worldwide scale. For the automobile, the technology which is friendly to the environments is becoming much more important than before. TOYOTA has introduced the HV (Hybrid Vehicle) “PRIUS” into the market in 1997, and now, in March 2005, we launched the “RX400h” hybrid SUV, which is highly compatible new-generation hybrid system with low fuel consumption and impressive power output by developing THS II (Toyota Hybrid System II) that improves high voltage electrical system and control system.I would like to introduce the new system incorporated in the THS II and the expectation for the future automobile power electronics technologies.

Abstract: Successful electrification of the power train is one of the most challenging objectives in the development of new automobiles. The demonstrated customer benefit and the assembly performance achieved thus far give rise to optimism as regards the future acceptance of this technology. In order to secure a sustained market launch, however, further developments in respect of the applied technologies are required with a view to obtaining compact, reliable and cost-effective systems.Keywords:Electrified power train, Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), Automotive drive, Active Gearbox, Efficient dynamic, Power density, Torque density

   High Temperature Electronic for Future Hybrid Powertrain Applications

Abstract: Hybrid drives can substantially reduce the fuel consumption and the emissions of a motor vehicle and additionally increase the traveling comfort and the driving dynamics. Key components of these drives are an electrical machine and an inverter, which consists of many electronic elements. The electronics have to be operated at moderate temperatures, in order to use the full potential of a hybrid drive. For this reason today the inverter normally is arranged separately from the electrical machine into a separate housing. Advancements of the electronic elements in the last years make solutions tangible, which can also provide high power with high environmental and coolant temperatures and are able to work reliably over the specified life time of a motor vehicle. Furthermore, electronics for high operating temperature make variable mounting spaces possible, so the modularity of the hybrid components can be increased and the systems can be assembled in a more compact manner. In this document the requirements on the electronics and the necessary development for these environmental conditions are described.
