Abstract

As a selected participant in the EcoCAR2: Plugging In to the Future competition, headline sponsored by General Motors and the US Department of Energy, the Rose-Hulman team has completed the second year of a three year design cycle. This paper focuses on the mechanical integration of powertrain components based on the year one design. The selected architecture, a plugin split-parallel, utilizes a GM LE9 2.4L Flexfuel engine, a GM MHH eAssist 6-speed automatic transmission, a modified GM BAS and inverter, a Remy HVH250 rear traction motor with Rinehart inverter, and custom A123 battery.
