Hybrid & Electric VehiclesWIDE RANGE OF CAPABILITIES

Advanced data and model management features allow you to publish libraries of components for fast and efficient vehicle architecture studies. With GT-SUITE’s complete transmission library and object-oriented interface, any electrified vehicle architecture can be built and tested for fuel economy and performance.

After vehicle architecture has been determined, GT-SUITE enables the easy integration of physical subsystems, including thermal management and aftertreatment systems, allowing for the optimization of full-vehicle energy and thermal management strategies.

As the vehicle development progresses, even more advanced analyses of electrified vehicles can be performed, including dynamic analysis of electric boosting systems with GT-POWER, NVH and drivability studies, and detailed battery, engine, and motor heat distribution.
