Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) represent a possible sustainable solution for personal urban
transportation. Presently, the most limiting characteristic of BEVs is their short range, mainly …

In a power-split hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), the power-split device (PSD) can be classified
into input-split, output-split and compound-split types. A systematic analysis methodology is …

This paper presents a novel four-wheel-drive electric vehicle layout consisting of one on-
board electric drivetrain per axle. Each drivetrain includes a simplified clutch-less two-speed …

This paper is focused on upgrading a unified parametric model, available in the literature,
that can perform both the analysis and the design of Power-Split Continuously Variable …

Highlights•A parameter optimisation method regarding a new power-cycle hydro-
mechanical continuously variable transmission system (PCHMCVT) is proposed.•The effect …

Abstract Model predictive control (MPC) is one of the most promising energy management
strategies for hybrid electric vehicles. However, owing to constructive complexity, the …

A new continuously variable transmission (CVT) system is proposed in this paper for the
purpose of improving transmission efficiency in vehicles. The proposed system consists of a …

In this paper we show the design of a novel tuned mass damper with inerter that enables
changes of inertance. We present the details of the experimental rig that is used to test the …

This paper provides a new model for the preliminary design of compound power-split CVTs.
Unlike the existing models, the presented method allows the engineers to prioritize …

This paper provides a fast kinematic analysis method for compound power-split CVTs, which
consents to identify their functional parameters. Such parameters permit the assessment of …
