Abstract :
[en] Most of HEV are built using existing engines. These engines have been developed for conventional car and are not especially tailored for HEV. The objectives of this work are to establish general requirements placed on an ICE for a HEV application, to draw the main characteristics of the engine and to find the best configuration of twin-cylinder ICE to motorize an HEV. The twin-cylinder engine offer interesting perspectives in the field of HEV thanks to its small size, low weight and low cost.
