Using Model-Based Design, GM designed the power train prototype within 9 months, shaving 24 months off the expected development time. The complex control system is currently in production in the GMC Sierra Hybrid, GMC Yukon Hybrid, Chevy Tahoe Hybrid, Chevy Silverado Hybrid, and Cadillac Escalade Hybrid vehicles.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Not everyone appreciates that the GM two-mode hybrids are seriously excellent engineering.\u00a0 This also documents that GM is becoming more agile as they go &#8212; but that it is not just something that started this year.\u00a0 Still lots more room for improvement, but GM and Cadillac have been on an arc of improved design and engineering for the last 2 decades.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"body\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"body\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Embedded Computing focuses on the controllers or computers that are inside our everyday gadgets.\u00a0\u00a0 In this article: Green up: Automotive solutions designed faster, smarter &#8211; By Don Dingee they discuss GM&#8217;s use of simulation tools to cut the development time &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caddyinfo.com\/wordpress\/green-up-automotive-solutions-designed-faster-smarter-by-don-dingee\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[79],"class_list":["post-2150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-new-technology","tag-hybrid"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.caddyinfo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2150","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.caddyinfo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.caddyinfo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.caddyinfo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.caddyinfo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2150"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.caddyinfo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2150\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2153,"href":"http:\/\/www.caddyinfo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2150\/revisions\/2153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.caddyinfo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.caddyinfo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.caddyinfo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
