Hybrid Vehicles: Innovation in the service of more responsible mobility

We are witnessing a major transformation in the way we move. Environmental concerns, technological advancements, and the need for more sustainable energy solutions have driven the development of new forms of transportation. In this context, hybrid vehicles have emerged as a key alternative by combining the best of both worlds: the autonomy of the internal combustion engine and the efficiency of the electric motor.

This technology not only reduces fuel consumption and pollutant emissions, but also optimizes vehicle performance under various operating conditions. However, understanding how these systems work and being able to diagnose their components requires solid and up-to-date technical training.

With the goal of bringing hybrid technology into classrooms and laboratories, EDIBON has designed the Hybrid Engine Integral Test and Diagnostic Bench (TBM/H). This is an educational unit that allows users to understand, experiment with, and teach the key principles governing these propulsion systems in a controlled and realistic environment.

TBM/H: A hands-on learning unit

This unit is not just a test bench, it is a comprehensive educational experience. It enables the study of a real hybrid powertrain, the analysis of its behavior in different situations, and a better understanding of how its components interact.

Thanks to its modular design and advanced control software, users can:

  • Visualize and study the hybrid system in real time, including its thermal engine, electric motor, high-voltage battery, generator, and transmission system.
  • Simulate various driving modes, including fully electric, thermal, and combined modes.
  • Analyze energy recovery during regenerative braking, understanding how this energy is stored and redistributed.
  • Introduce controlled faults to practice diagnosis and troubleshooting, an essential skill for any professional in the field.
  • Monitor all system parameters using an intuitive SCADA software, allowing for real-time tracking, data comparison, and documentation of results.

Technical training for the present (and the future)

The TBM/H has been developed with the real needs of training centers, universities, and companies in the automotive sector in mind. Now more than ever, hands-on education is valued, education that goes beyond books and enables students to see, touch, and experience the technology.

For this reason, this unit offers a complete didactic environment that helps build a strong theoretical foundation while also developing practical skills that are essential in the professional world.

EDIBON: Technology to train tomorrow’s professionals

For over 45 years, EDIBON has worked to make technical education more accessible, more effective, and more aligned with industrial reality. The TBM/H is a testament to our commitment to educational innovation: a robust, versatile unit designed to support your teaching and learning process.

If your institution is committed to training in sustainable mobility, clean technologies, or cutting-edge automotive systems, the TBM/H will undoubtedly be a strategic ally.

Because effective teaching means using today’s equipment to build a better tomorrow.
