Abstract
Systems and methods for managing power consumption and operation of an electric machine that is configured to provide propulsive effort of a hybrid vehicle are presented. In one example, steering angle of the hybrid vehicle is a basis for managing power consumption and operation of the electric machine so that charge stored in an electric energy storage device may be conserved.
Claims20
A method for operating a vehicle, comprising:
- via a controller, adjusting output of an electric machine that propels the vehicle in response to a steering angle of the vehicle.
A system, comprising:
- an internal combustion engine;
- an electric machine;
- and
- a controller including executable instructions stored in non-transitory memory that cause the controller to assist torque output of the internal combustion engine via the electric machine in response to an indication that a vehicle that includes the internal combustion engine is exiting a turn of a road.
1 more element
A method for operating a vehicle, comprising:
- via a controller, adjusting output of an electric machine that propels the vehicle in response to a rate constrained electric machine torque gain value, the rate constrained electric machine torque gain value based on a steering angle of the vehicle.
