Systematic synthesis and multi-criteria evaluation of transmission topologies for electric vehicles

Abstract The focus on the expansion of electrification vehicles becomes stronger. Thus, development process powertrains those cars needs to be more dynamic react new challenges. One way accelerate is automate predevelopment and evaluation at an early stage. An automated method synthesize transmission topologies pre-design gears for generated electric presented within this paper. contains two internal evaluations—one after topology synthesis second initial design gears. results are gear ratios data single steps each topology. inputs boundary conditions can easily changed fitted specific requirements all use-cases. Here, explained, methods' validated using state-of-the-art passenger vehicle transmission. As trucks, no exist; subsequently applied find a heavy-duty truck. Extracts presented. application trucks carried out publicly funded research project “Concept ELV 2 ”. In general, capable synthesizing transmissions any given motor combination.
