Abstract

See full text

A vehicle propulsion system includes a controller configured to generate a control signal that dictates operation of a propulsion system of a vehicle having an engine and an electrically driven superturbocharger or a turbo-compounding turbine. Responsive to determining that the vehicle is one or more of entering into or traveling within an airflow restricting area, the controller is configured to change the operation of the propulsion system of the vehicle by reducing a power output by the engine. The controller is configured to reduce the power output by the engine to increase a power output of the electrically driven superturbocharger or the turbo-compounding turbine to propel the vehicle through the airflow restricting area.
