Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Products

Delphi hybrid / EV controllers are designed to provide supervisory control for hybrid and electric vehicle applications. The Gen2 HCU acts as the communication gateway between the vehicle, IC powertrain, power electronics and energy storage components. Leveraging Delphi's proven powertrain controller design, the HCU is flexible enough to be used on a wide variety of vehicle applications and across multiple architectures.
