Uphill Power Assistance

Power from the electric motors to assist accelerator operation when going uphill

The uphill power assist control calls upon the electric motors to supplement drive power when driving uphill, to assist the driver in accelerator operations.
The driver need not make abrupt accelerator operations when coming up against a hill or change in slope while climbing. Very sensitive rotation sensors are used to monitor slope angle, total vehicle weight and other information, and to modify power output to suit the driving conditions.
