Electric Vehicles
The fourth training unit focuses on pure battery electric vehicles (BEVs). After an introduction with a short glance at the history of electric vehicles, the focus lies on the powertrain possibilities and integration of the powertrain components in the vehicle body. Some benchmark vehicles were selected and presented.
Powertrain Possibilities and Vehicle Integration:
This element describes the powertrain possibilities for pure electric vehicles and the powertrain integration in the vehicle. It covers wheel hub motors, electric drive axle, tandem layout and includes considerations about the necessary transmissions.
