The HCU (Hybrid Control Unit) controls the overall hybrid systems and is connected
with each of the control modules (ECM, TCM, MCU, BMS, ECU, etc.) via CAN. The hybrid
system is controlled based on the brake switch signals.
The HCU controls power & torque distribution of the engine and motor, regenerative
brake, and fail-safe mode based on the vehicle information, driver’s demand, engine
information and high voltage battery information.
