Motor TRC

Controlling tyre slip with drive from the motors

Motor TRC is a system that uses the power produced by the electric motors to prevent tyres from slipping.*
It helps lessen the load on the driver when driving on a snow covered road or a wet/unpaved road surface. If the rotation sensors detect a condition where a wheel is about to slip or is slipping, the electric motors are instantaneously called to feed power to the driving axle so as to recover the grip on that driving axle. TRC in a normal gas/petrol engine car uses the engine and brakes to prevent slipping, but with HYBRID SYNERGY DRIVE, the power from the electric motors are used to perform this function.

*Motor TRaction Control also functions to protect HYBRID SYNERGY DRIVE from being damaged by any sudden surge/drop in voltage supplied to the electrical systems, or by over-revving the planetary gear of the power split device.
