There is an evolving paradigm shift in the transportation industry toward more efficient, more reliable, safer, smarter, andhigher-performance vehicles that are more environmentally friendly. This paradigm shift is electrification and there is afierce global competition to develop lhe next generation of electrified vehicles. This project aims at helping Canada tomaintain and enhance its historical strengths and global competitiveness in the automotive industry with the emergingmarket penetration of hybrid and electric vehicles.Major technical challenges for the mass commercialization of electrified vehicles include significant difficulties indeveloping powertrains and powertrain components that are low-cost, reliable, rugged, high-performance, efficient, andscalable. In this project, the Canada Excellence Research Chair (CERC) in Hybrid Powertrain (the only CERC related tothe automotive industry) and McMaster University are joining forces with Chrysler--a major manufacturer of automobilesin Canada--to develop the next generation of affordable electrified powertrains and powertrain components to overcomethese major challenges. In addition, this project leverages McMaster's unique strengths in automotive research,significant government investments both at the Federal and Provincial levels in the globally-unique automotive researchinfrastructure at McMaster, and the ongoing university partnership with Chrysler to provide much-needed critical massthat will enable the realization of the next generation of electrified vehicles in Canada.This unprecedented research and development program proposes a comprehensive plan for integrating the highestqualityresearch, education, and multi-disciplinary industry cooperation to significantly advance electrified powertraintechnologies and integrated solutions for vehicular applications. Furthermore, novel powertrain components andsubsystems including power electronic circuits, electric machines, motor controllers, energy storage managementsystems, and embedded software will be developed to achieve superior energy efficiency and performance at a reducedcost and increased reliability.

交通运输行业正朝着更高效、更可靠、更安全、更智能、性能更高、更环保的方向发展。这种模式的转变就是电气化，在开发下一代电动汽车方面存在激烈的全球竞争。该项目旨在通过混合动力和电动汽车的新兴市场渗透，帮助加拿大保持和增强其在汽车行业的历史优势和全球竞争力。电动汽车大规模商业化的主要技术挑战包括开发低成本、可靠、坚固、高性能、高效和可扩展的动力总成和动力总成组件的重大困难。在这个项目中，加拿大混合动力系统卓越研究主席（CERC）（唯一一个与汽车行业相关的CERC）和麦克马斯特大学将与加拿大主要汽车制造商克莱斯勒合作，共同开发下一代经济实惠的电动动力系统和动力总成部件，以克服这些重大挑战。此外，该项目还利用了麦克马斯特大学在汽车研究方面的独特优势，联邦和省级政府对麦克马斯特大学全球独特的汽车研究基础设施的重大投资，以及大学与克莱斯勒的持续合作伙伴关系，为加拿大实现下一代电动汽车提供急需的关键质量。这一前所未有的研发计划提出了一项综合计划，旨在整合最高质量的研究、教育和多学科行业合作，以显著推进电动动力总成技术和汽车应用的集成解决方案。此外，新型动力总成组件和子系统，包括电力电子电路、电机、电机控制器、能量存储管理系统和嵌入式软件将被开发，以降低成本和提高可靠性实现卓越的能源效率和性能。
