The Second Generation of Electric Vehicles: Integrated Corner Solutions

Abstract

The impact of the transportation sector on pollution and emissions is very high. To solve this issue, manufacturers are shifting from conventional combustion engines to new electric solutions. As a result, the opportunity to redesign vehicle architecture appears. This paper provides a review of driveline topologies of the new generation vehicles, targeting wheel corner modules with in-wheel solutions. To understand the impact of the new solution on the vehicle dynamic properties, we analysed the literature and performed a SWOT analysis.
