Eaton Corporation is using IBM modeling software to develop series hydraulic hybrid systems. Replacing a vehicle`s conventional drive train and transmission, the series hydraulic hybrid (SHH) system promises dramatic fuel savings and environmental benefits. The system uses hydraulic pumps and storage tanks to capture and store energy, similar to what is done with electric motors and batteries in a hybrid electric vehicle.
