Global Automotive Passenger Car Database—Powertrain Type

This database captures the current model wise powertrain-drivetrain configurations available in the market from key OEMs, across the regions EU, US, and Asia (Japan & South Korea). The configurations include engine capacity, fuel, configuration, power rating, transmission, driven wheels (FWD / RWD / AWD), electrification (mHEV, FHEV, PHEV, REx, BEV, and FCEV) and the electrification architecture.

The hybrid market is classified primarily on the architecture of the system. These are belt-integrated starter generator (P0), crank mounted (P1), transmission mounted (P2 / P3) and the rear axle mounted (P4). While the P0 systems are primarily start-stop systems or mild-hybrids, P2 architecture is suitable for mild-hybrids, full-hybrids, and PHEVs. And the P4 system is exclusively used for the PHEVs. Toyota and Honda use their respective hybrid systems, namely Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive Powersplit type of system and Honda’s iMMD system which does not have a transmission.
