For the mild-hybrid alternative racing car powertrain, the aim was to create a package of innovative engineering solutions that fit into the vehicle's original engine bay and interior design, with as few component changes or modifications as possible, while delivering the highest possible performance in use. This solution can also help to kick-start the green transition in the lower-budget, so-called customer racing series without major vehicle modifications, thus offering an approach-shaping solution for a wider society, using Hungarian engineering results.
The system draws power from the internal combustion engine's crankshaft at points on the track where excess power is available, and feeds power to the same crankshaft when the pilot needs it. During the project, HUMDA Lab developers worked with an industrial partner to carry out the detailed design phase, component and later system testing, vehicle integration and track testing, following specification.
As the project winds down, its development has quickly attracted attention, with one of our mild-hybrid kits currently abroad, where it will soon start testing in a competition series in the Far East.
