Course Overview
Why are battery/electric vehicles not as popular as hybrid vehicles? Why do electric cars cost more than conventional or even hybrid ones? Hybrid Vehicles by edX will answer all these questions and many more. Learners with a bachelor’s degree in engineering and practising engineers from the automotive industry can take this course to learn more about hybrid powertrains.
Hybrid Vehicles training will take you through all the various mechanical frameworks of hybrid powertrains and how they affect complexity and performance. It also covers different sizes of powertrains in full, mild, micro hybrids, and plug-in hybrids. There are driving cycle simulations to help you learn how to model and analyze all of these variations.
The Hybrid Vehicles certification syllabus covers Energy Management Systems and how they affect charging, discharging, and hybrid powertrain modes. The Chalmers University of Technology developed this course with support from MathWorks, and for the duration of the training, learners will have free access to MATLAB/Simulink for a limited duration. Candidates can also get the certificate and unlimited access to the self-paced course by paying the course fee. This course is also a part of Chalmers University’s MicroMasters program in Emerging Automotive Technologies.
