A particular sub-type of the split-parallel hybrid does not have the electric motor installed on board the vehicle; instead, two electric motors are placed in the hubs of the non-driven wheels, called 'hub motor' or 'in-wheel motor' (IWM). Since propulsion power from the ICE and IWM is coupled through the vehicle itself, its wheels and the road on which it moves, this particular configuration is termed 'through-the-road' (TTR) hybrid. TTR configuration enables existing ICE-powered vehicles to be retrofitted into an HEV with minimal physical modification. This work describes design of a retrofit-conversion TTR-IWM hybrid vehicle - its sub-systems and development work. Operating modes and power flow of the TTR hybrid, its torque coupling and resultant traction profiles are initially discussed. publisher: Institute of Physics Publishing date: 2015 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed identifier: Zulkifli, S.A. and Syaifuddin Mohd, M. and Maharun, M. and Bakar, N.S.A. and Idris, S. and Samsudin, S.H. and Firmansyah, F. and Adz, J.J. and Misbahulmunir, M. and Abidin, E.Z.Z. and Syafiq Mohd, M. and Saad, N. and Aziz, A.R.A.
