category during its daily working operations as well as simulating some of the most demanding tasks. The proposed parallel architecture must at least be able to provide the same power performance of the traditional architecture. Thus, the attention during the experimental activities focused on the performance parameters the engine published on the CAN BUS network of the vehicle. With the help of a CAN BUS analyser and of a personal computer (Fig. 7) the following parameters were monitored from the vehicle network:

• Engine speed reference (or equivalently the driver pedal signal) • Current engine speed • Actual engine percentage load • Vehicle speed
