Comparison on Energy Economy and Vibration Characteristics of Electric and Hydraulic in-Wheel Drive Vehicles

This paper compares the energy economy and vertical vibration characteristics of in-wheel drive electric vehicles (IEVs), hydraulic hybrid (IHVs) centralized (CEVs). The dynamic programming (DP) algorithm is used to explore optimal consumption each vehicle. analysis shows that IEV consumes more than CEV due its relatively lower motor efficiency, even with fewer driveline components. IHV much because loss in driveline. demonstrates both degrade vehicle driving comfort increased unsprung mass. Taking advantage high power density motor, have less mass when compared IEV, which helps mitigate problems caused by
