Whether you attend a conference, exhibition or technology forum, everyone is talking about hybrids. That doesn’t mean that electrification is off the table. On the contrary, hybrids require batteries, e-motors, and power-electronics as well. What’s new is the growing realization that the IC-engine stays with us but with changed requirements.
When combining the electrical propulsion systems with ICEs, we gain the flexibility of different operating modes, but this also introduces a higher level of system complexity. Developing hybrid vehicles cost-effectively, there is no way around virtualizing the development process and specifically the design verification process.
With this goal in mind, we have developed a broad range of new capabilities, available in our 2025 R1 Release.
