Heavy Duty Hybrid Truck: Zero Emissions Systems (ZES) is working with New Eagle to implement a control strategy for their heavy-duty hybrid retrofit system. New Eagle utilized its hybrid and EV experience to construct a control strategy for safe and robust operation. Within the system, the New Eagle control module handles mode selection, battery maintenance, motor/inverter commands, peripheral control and other decision making without requiring interaction from the user for a conventional driver feel. The seamless transitions between electric and diesel modes allow the user to drive the vehicle normally, so they can focus on the job at hand. In the end the ZES system is designed to improve fleet's operating efficiency by up to 40%.

MotoHawk Update

New Eagle has developed several libraries that interoperate with MotoHawk and provide useful additional features or enhanced convenience.

Enhanced Autodoc: The new MotoHawk Autodoc library is a very useful tool to document a model. It captures a screenshot of every page, creates a separate page for calibration and probe data on each model page, and generates a summary Excel worksheet with all calibration, probe, and fault data.

VeeCAN MotoHawk Display: The VeeCAN MotoHawk Library and corresponding color display application are ideal for developing a display interface using the simplicity of MotoHawk software much like the monochrome MiniView. Save time and effort in your display efforts.

Network Toolbox: The Network Toolbox simplifies CAN messaging development in MotoHawk. Instead of creating M-files in MATLAB to define CAN message, you can just import an industry-standard .dbc file to get useful CAN blocks. This saves development time significantly and reduces complexity.
