Electrification of Compact Off-Highway Vehicles—Overview of the Current State of the Art and Trends

Electrified vehicles have undergone great evolution during the last decade because of increasing attention paid on environmental sustainability, greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Emission regulations are becoming increasingly tight, governments been allocating multiple funds to facilitate spreading so-called green mobility. In this context, steering towards electrified solutions not only for passenger vehicles, but also compact off-highway extensively employed, instance, construction sites located in urban areas, warehouses, greenhouses, is essential even if seldom considered. Moreover, electrification machinery may allow manufacturers increase their expertise lower costs these alternative solutions, while gathering useful data be applied bigger more remunerative vehicles. fact, electric automobiles as now real alternatives buyers, regardless application, mostly research experimental phase, with few them already market. This delay, comparison automotive industry, caused by different factors, related tasks terms duty cycles, productivity performance parameters user acceptability. The aim paper give an overview many aspects highlight key differences between on-highway summarize a single source information investigated researchers manufacturers.
