This study investigates the experimental test bench specially created fortestingaplanetary mechanism with two degrees of freedom in the configuration of hybrid electric vehicle powertrain. For the experimental study, it was necessary to build a test bench that consists of a metal frame on which other mechanical and electrical components are positioned: the mechanical coupling system, the thermal engine, a three-phase electric motor and an alternator. The test bench can simulate road load, during which time it is measured with the help ofa torque sensor the mechanical moment developed by the electric motor used in this configuration.
