Intelligent electromechanical drive systems for motor cars

Abstract

The automotive industry will produce and will offer electric motor vehicles (EV) in the future increasingly. This is necessary because of mineral oil energy resources coming to end. Furthermore, this is initiated by the "clean-air-act" in California. This essay analyzes the market chances of the electric vehicle with the aid of a survey via vehicle drives (conventionally, in hybrid form and electrically). A qualitative comparison of electric vehicle designs among each another and to vehicles with combustion engines (ICE) is made. An optimization of the mechatronical drive system considering the life-cycle costs (energy consumption) and the drive characteristics as well as customer expectations is made. For the electrical motor in the overall electric motor vehicle system, a specific optimization regulation is given.
