Abstract: Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) is a vehicle with two sources of activation power which is Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) as a primary mover and Brushless DC Motor (BLDCM) as a secondary mover. BLDCM functions as the supplier of additional torque so that HEV can reach speed setpoint based on reference model. The BLDCM torque control uses Predictive Direct Torque Control (PDTC). PDTC is the development of direct torque control with additional mechanism to predict torque. The result of experiment shows that the performance of PDTC is better than DTC with error steady state = 0.66 rpm, RMSE = 6.33 rpm, current ripple 0.899 A and torque ripple 0.012.
