Electronic Throttle Control for Range Extender applications (ETC 15)
The specially designed Electric Throttle Control Valve for Range-Extender-applications is adapted to the operating conditions and changing requirements in a REEV system architecture. It continues to enable the necessary control of the air flow to the engine depending on driving conditions, load requirements, and control strategy. However, in the REEV-specific design, the functions are reduced to the essentials in order to offer a highly cost-effective product.

Highlights
- Cost-optimized due to a range extender-specific design
- Low weight and compact packaging
- Use of individual components of the global ETC platform
Advantages
- Modular design concept
- Low weight due to thermoplastic housing (aluminum optional)
- Suitable for turbo applications and applications with low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation
- Reduced costs thanks to optional adaptation to range extender application:
- Single-channel sensor with simple sensor signal output
- Simplified basic position of the flap: open or closed
- Minimization of measures to reduce leakage at the stop (closed position)
- Double flange, 3-hole design
- DC motor with coils
