Tail Pipe Emissions Mode Control For Hybrid Electric Vehicles

View page
US Patent:
8180509, May 15, 2012
Filed:
Mar 12, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/402940
Inventors:
Duane M. Grider - Farmington Hills MI, US
Bruce Carvell Blakemore - Plymouth MI, US
Daniel William Forthoffer - Grosse Pointe Woods MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
B60W 10/04
US Classification:
701 22
Abstract:
A hybrid electric vehicle has a propulsion system including an internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric motor each configured to operate in parallel and each configured to propel the vehicle individually. A rechargeable battery is configured to deliver power to the electric motor to enable the electric motor to propel the vehicle for a certain distance without operation of the ICE. The rechargeable battery is further configured to receive power from a household power outlet. A controller is configured to control the propulsion system to operate in either a normal emissions mode or a no-emissions mode wherein the ICE is disabled. The controller is further configured to direct the propulsion system to operate in the no-emissions mode in response to the broadcast of an external control signal.
