Abstract

In the last decade an electrification of the powertrain became the significant trend in the passenger cars’ development. Beside hybrid electric powertrains there is also a variety of solutions for pure electric cars. The presented paper introduces a Modelica model of an electric vehicle solution with rear driven wheels. The suspension model containing an individual electric drive placed close to the wheel will be discussed with focus on different modelling aspects. Moreover; some typical characteristics of suspension will be presented.
