“…However, the literature on LEV powertrain design rarely considers the associated driving missions. Instead, the powertrain is first parametrized and settled, and then, an ex-post-performance assessment is conducted using various driving cycles [13][14][15][16].…”

Light electric vehicles are best suited for city and suburban settings, where top speed and long-distance travel are not the primary concerns. The literature concerning light electric vehicle powertrain design often overlooks the influence of the associated driving missions. Typically, the powertrain is initially parameterized, established, and then evaluated with an ex-post-performance assessment using driving cycles. Nevertheless, to optimize the size and performance of a vehicle according to its intended mission, it is essential to consider the driving cycles right from the outset, in the powertrain design. This paper presents the design of an electric powertrain for multipurpose light electric vehicles, focusing on the motor, battery, and charging requirements. The powertrain design optimization is realized from the first stages by considering the vehicle’s driving missions and operational patterns for multipurpose usage (transporting people or goods) in European urban environments. The proposed powertrain is modular and scalable in terms of the energy capacity of the battery as well as in the electric motor shaft power and torque. Having such a possibility gives one the flexibility to use the powertrain in different combinations for different vehicle categories, from L7 quadricycles to light M1 vehicles.

Electric transport has been gaining more interest and importance in the last years. Moreover, the variety of transport systems driven by an electric motor has also been increased. Therefore, it is very important to provide engineering students with solid and comprehensible knowledge, as well as handly tools, for modeling an electric traction system. So far, this has been a difficult task for undergraduate students due to a variety of subjects involved, such as electric machines, power converters, control systems, and load estimations. This work is intended to provide a detailed and comprehensible description of the analysis, modeling, and implementation of a powertrain of a light utility vehicle using power electronics simulation (PSIM) commercial software in order that the student acquires the required knowledge for analyzing multiple configurations in the powertrain.
