7. 100,000 Outlander PHEVs 30% EU PHEV market
PHEV in Europe
100,000 Outlander PHEVs
30% EU PHEV market

8. PHEV in Norway 10,000 Outlander PHEVs # 2 Overall N – Market
# 1 EV/HEV/PHEV
# 1 SUV
# 1 4WD

9. The Norwegian Government – a long term strategy
Plan to phase out petrol and diesel cars by 2025
Not a ban...
...Done by adjusting registration duties to such extent so that EVs,
HEVs and PHEVs gradually become ”the obvious choice”...

10. Registration duty – an incentive
Paid at 1st registration
3 factors count in:
=> Kg (kerb weight) - progressive
=> CO2 (g/km) - progressive
=> NOx (mg/km) - flat
PHEVs get 26% of the weight deducted before calculation
HEVs get 20% of the weight deducted before calculation
EV No registration duty

FRONT
ENGINE
VISCOUS COUPLING
MMC’s K-cars (like “eK”) are available in a 4WD version. This 4WD system is the most basic system Mitsubishi Motors has in its line up.
On this front-wheel drive car, a viscous coupling “locks” the rear wheels in case of rotation speed between front and rear axle (i.e. slip of the front wheels)
REAR

16. … to Lancer Evolution – Full time 4WD w/S-AWC
Super – All Wheel Control (ASC/ABS/AYC/ACD)

17. What is S-AWC ?

18. What is S-AWC’s philosophy ?
・Longitudinal and Lateral Vehicle Dynamics Behavior are controlled
using Driving and Braking Force Control
・S-AWC controls ACD, AYC, ABS, ASC comprehensively as master controller,
and the vehicle dynamics performance is improved seamlessly whatever
the driving conditions
Longitudinal Behavior
Lateral Behavior
Driving Force
Braking Force

This picture gives an overview of the S-AWC system. (Mention the parts)
The PHEV-ECU gets information via CAN bus from wheel speed, G and Yaw rate sensor, steering wheel sensor. Etc and other ECU’s to detect driver demand and vehicle behavior. The PHEV then controls front and rear motor torque and braking force based on the mentioned vehicle information to achieve best vehicle stability and performance. The control state is transmitted to the meter and can be displayed in the multi-information display.
The torque request calculated by the PHEV ECU is send to the engine ECU. RMCU and FMCU via CAN Bus.
