In present-day scenario, the increasing demand for fuel efficient and less pollutant vehicles have stimulated thedevelopment of hybrid and electric vehicles. These vehicle platforms often incorporate drivetrains which utilize multiplepower sources (prime movers like the internal combustion engine, and electric motor) for vehicle propulsion in an effort toincrease fuel mileage and reduce emissions. This leads to an evolution in coupling design and has new challenges indrivetrain design. Coupling the two prime movers which have fundamentally different characteristics makes it even morechallenging. While the electric motor has quite a linear output, then engine is not quite so.Results from this research include the fundamental torque and rpm relationships that exist in a multiple-input, single-outputpower transmission device. These results were deduced from a practical working in a Formula student car that incorporatedtwo separate power inputs into a planetary differential which combined to produce a single output.
