Chapter 6: CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
After a period of working on the project under the dedicated guidance of Dr. Duong
Tuan Tung, along with our efforts in researching and studying the topic “Research on
the Drivetrain System of the BMW i8 plug-in hybrid,” our team has accomplished the
following tasks:
‒ Gained an overall understanding of hybrid technology and the development trends
of hybrid vehicles.
‒ Studied the structure and operating principles of the drivetrain system, particularly
the power flow and its operation methods.
‒ Summarized key control systems used in the vehicle.
‒ Learned about diagnostic procedures, repair processes, and important
considerations when repairing hybrid vehicles.
In terms of the basic content, our team has researched and summarized several key
aspects as initially planned. However, there are still some limitations and incomplete
areas within the project. Therefore, we look forward to receiving feedback from our
lecturers to improve the project further and identify areas that need to be addressed.
One of the limitations of our project is the lack of research on the control diagram of
the valve body. We hope that future groups working on this topic will overcome these
shortcomings and develop the project more comprehensively and effectively.
