The concept phase

Use ePOP in engineering - from concept exploration to component specification

1-4

ePOP can display data from benchmark measurements side-by-side with the concepts being explored, allowing teams to easily compare performance metrics.

ePOP has frequently used system level architectures built-in to allow rapid investigations without the need to build models from scratch.

ePOP enables creating, importing, and viewing components in isolation — and combining many into system-level solutions for design exploration.

In its component models, ePOP allows higher fidelity to include detailed design choices (such as material selection) very early in the concepting phase.

Workflow

How it works - key steps

Individual Function Cycle

  • Load in different functional cycles (with millisecond resolution)
  • Tag each segment as Electrical direct, Hydraulic direct, or Mechanical
  • Combine cycles into a single consolidated duty profile
  • Browse power delivery scenarios
  • Import cycles from a spreadsheet
Individual Function Cycle

Library

  • Use a baseline component library (inverters, motors, ICEs, fuel systems, batteries, chargers, transmissions, hydraulic pumps/motors)
  • Define and load your own custom components (beyond the built-in ones)
Library

Configuration

  • Select components from the library
  • Build and compare two powertrain scenarios
  • Choose the architecture (parallel, series, etc.) and power sources
  • Perform sweeps to find optimal architecture
  • Set operation parameters: number of cycles, years, cost assumptions
Configuration

Results

  • Determine the optimal level of electrification based on the cycle, budget, and horizon
  • Detailed KPI breakdowns by component (cost, mass, etc.)
  • Compare lifetime fuel usage (ICE vs hybrid vs fully electric)
  • Export a “shopping list” specification for the optimal powertrain setup

ePOP (Electrified Propulsion Optimisation Process) is a simulation-based approach that helps identify the optimal powertrain architecture for a given vehicle.

It works by virtually screening a wide range of electrified powertrain combinations early in the development cycle, ensuring they meet vehicle-level requirements without the need for costly prototypes.

By using ePOP, customers can quickly understand trade-offs between key attributes—such as efficiency, mass, and cost—for a specific application or family of vehicles.
