powertrain integration

The integration of e-machine and driveline actuator systems into the engine, transmission and driveline is fundamental to the achievement of customer functionality, refinement and cost objectives.

With an increasing range of hybrid architectures and system functonal mode options available to the system architect, IP's advanced engineering processes and proven expertise as a comprehensive engine, transmission and controls system developer provides our clients with unique capabilties to extract the maximum benefit from hybridisation.

Our project references include the complete range of current and next-generation hybrid powertrain configurations, all with widely varying system integration requirements and challenges. Whether your application is engine- or transmission-integrated, through-the-road or hub-mounted, modular or bespoke, our project teams have the skills and experience to support your objectives from first concept to production.
