English.chinabuses.com: Dongfeng Electric Vehicle (DFEV), an R&D arm of Chinese automaker Dongfeng Motor Corp, has developed a battery management system for hybrid electric vehicles by using MathWorks tools for Model-Based Design, the Enhanced Online News reported last week.
The new battery management system has been installed in Dongfeng's EQ6110 hybrid electric city bus, which delivers 30% better fuel efficiency than standard city buses while also lowering emissions.
DFEV engineers are reusing the controller design for the company's HEV sedan, which is currently in development.
"The development process that Dongfeng engineers created, using Simulink and Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder, will prove valuable as they continue to develop next-generation hybrid electric vehicle technology," said Jon Friedman, auto industry marketing manager at The MathWorks.
Dongfeng Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd., a hi-tech company located in Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone, is engaging in researching, manufacturing and marketing of electric vehicles (EVs).
