Hyundai Motor Group unveils new hybrid system ”TMED-2” (Korea)

Hyundai Motor Group has unveiled its next-generation hybrid system "TMED-2" technology, which offers improved performance and fuel efficiency.
The powertrain is divided into P0, P1, P2, P3 and P4 depending on the position of the electric motor.
The existing system combines P0 and P2, but the TMED-2 has a parallel structure. The newly developed transmission contains a drive motor that drives, regenerates and brakes.
The new model incorporates a new motor (P2) that starts the engine, generates electricity, and assists in driving the vehicle (P1), improving the engine's performance and fuel economy. It also provides smoother gear changes and reduces noise and vibration.
In addition, the group will develop a 2.5L turbo hybrid engine, which will be the first powertrain for the next-generation hybrid system.
Based on the Palisade 2WD SUV, fuel economy is 14.1 kilometers per liter, maximum output is 334 horsepower, and torque is 46.1 kilogram-force meters.
TMED-2 will be applicable to not only small and large cars but also luxury cars, aiming to build a full lineup of hybrid vehicles (HVs). In addition, the 2.5-turbo rear-wheel drive will be available until 2026.
The company plans to develop a hybrid system and install it in key models of its Genesis luxury vehicle.
