PHEV, REEV
Increased venting purge pressures
A HEV has a very unique function in that the moment the electric propulsion is running, the engine shuts off and fuel vapor builds pressure internally in the tank. For this unique electric only mode of the vehicle’s propulsion, a pressure resistant fuel tank is required to maintain in tank pressure and in turn extend the electric-only driving range. TI Fluid Systems’ LPT technology integrates mechanical pin columns during the blow molding manufacturing process to stiffen the upper and lower tank shells.
