Hybridrive® Series components

HybriDrive® Propulsion Control System (PCS)

HybriDrive® Propulsion Control System (PCS) is the power processing and power management center for the entire HybriDrive system. It works in conjunction with the brain of the HybriDrive® system, the System Control Unit (SCU) which provides the system monitoring and control. The SCU can be either mounted on the propulsion control system or elsewhere within the vehicle depending on your space requirements and needs. These systems control the optimal flow of power to and from the traction motor, generator and energy storage system.

Our PCS and SCU also enable the overall system performance to be customized to an operator’s specific requirements and provide diagnostic information to enhance maintenance of the entire HybriDrive® system. PCS and SCU are available for both the HDS 200 and HDS 300 systems.
