Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for regulating the distance, during driving, separating a hybrid or electric vehicle (40) having a machine delivering a braking torque while producing energy that is stored in batteries, from a preceding vehicle (42), said method using a speed set point to adapt the speed of the vehicle in order to obtain a minimum basic distance from the preceding vehicle corresponding to a predefined lapse of time needed to travel it, characterised in that it modifies the distance as a function of the charge state of the batteries (10), to obtain an optimised distance to apply the speed regulation of the vehicle.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hydraulic machine that can be operated as a motor or a pump, comprising a cylinder block (60) rotating about a main shaft, provided with cylinders arranged parallel to the shaft and receiving pistons (62) that are actuated by a non-rotatable inclined plate (64), characterised in that the cylinder block (60) comprises a rotating means (80) connected to the outer radial edge thereof.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a powertrain of a hybrid vehicle, provided with a heat engine (2) driving rotating machines of accessory functions (40, 42, 44), a first auxiliary machine (26) which, in one operating mode, provides the vehicle with traction while the heat engine can remain stopped, and a second auxiliary machine (20) that can, in this mode, drive the heat engine, characterised in that, in this operating mode, in case of a need to drive rotating machines (40, 42, 44) in order to obtain accessory functions, it controls the second auxiliary machine (20) to rotate the heat engine (2), while keeping the fuel injection of same cut off.
Abstract:
Hybrid vehicle comprising a first, heat engine, propulsion unit (10) and a second propulsion unit (20) that uses a different form of energy, characterized in that the vehicle comprises at least one alternator (25) coupled to the second propulsion unit (20) and connected to an electrical network (60) of the vehicle.
