Abstract

Hydraulic assist power system (HAPS) is a low-cost system that converts vehicle kinetic energy during vehicle deceleration or braking into hydraulic energy and then uses it to assist vehicle propulsion. Unlike conventional hybrid electrical vehicles (HEV) or hydraulic hybrid vehicles (HHV), where a separate motor/generator or motor/pump set is required, the present concept uses the existing hydraulic pump of the transmission unit as the motor/pump set directly. This leads to reduced size, lower weight and less cost. Typical applications of HAPS include energy recovery, engine restart, and hill-holding, etc.
