A hybrid-electric vehicle powertrain architecture consists of single or multiple driving modes, i.e., connection arrangements among engine, motors and vehicle output shaft that determine distribution of power. While most architecture development work to date has focused primarily on passenger cars, interest has been growing in exploring architectures for special-purpose vehicles such as vans or trucks for civilian and military applications, whose weights or payloads can vary significantly during operations. Previous findings show that the optimal architecture can be sensitive to vehicle weight. In this paper we investigate architecture design under a distribution of vehicle weights, using a simulation-based design optimization strategy with nested supervisory optimal control and accounting for powertrain complexity. Results show that an architecture under a single load has significant differences and lower fuel efficiency than an architecture designed to work under a variety of loading scenarios.

The influence of the electromagnetic parameters on the torsional dynamics of the electric vehicle powertrain is studied by considering the electromechanical coupling effect. By adding the electromagnetic torque on the drive side, the powertrain is simplified as nonlinear drive-shaft model. The number, stability, and bifurcation conditions of the equilibrium points of the nonlinear drive-shaft model are deduced. Based on the averaged equations and the amplitude-frequency response equation, the stability and bifurcation conditions, such as fold bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation, of the resonance curve are discussed. The influence of electromagnetic parameters on the torsional dynamics is studied by simulation. It is shown that with the change of the parameters, the number as well as the stability of the equilibrium points may be changed which is affected by fold bifurcation. It is also shown that the resonance curve may lose its stability when fold bifurcation happens. By limiting the parameters in the region without fold bifurcation, the unstable dynamics of the resonance curve can be controlled.

Abstract In the introduction to the article, the conception and development of an experimental electric vehicle is described. It is followed by a description of the used mechanical and electrical components in combination with the design solutions of sub-units, such as the vehicle powertrain and traction battery. The choice of components and design solutions is evaluated here with regard to the current trends in the development of battery electric vehicles.
