Given that hybrid electric vehicles could significantly reduce fuel consumption, and mining trucks are much more sensitive to energy conversion efficiency, it is essential to develop a hybrid system, which could meet both the specific requirements of the structure of mining trucks and the needs for overall efficiency improvements. In this paper, a novel multi-mode transmission system, which is composed of an engine, two motors, one planetary gear set, and a parallel transmission structure, is proposed. The planetary gear set serves as a power-split device, and the parallel transmission structure can make the engine and motor work in the high-efficiency area both in low-speed and high-speed conditions. Due to the flexibility of the proposed system, five power-flow modes can be implemented, and they are illustrated with a specially designed rule-based energy management strategy. To validate the effectiveness of the multi-mode transmission system, dynamic programming is used to assess the fuel consumption during the given driving cycle without considering drivability. The simulation results reveal that the proposed multi-mode transmission system owns better fuel efficiency for mining trucks compared with highly regarded Toyota Hybrid System and conventional automated manual transmission system.
