Abstract:
The project brings together ten participants from industrial and academic backgrounds to provide innovative and massproduction
optimised components enabling the efficient integration of powertrain and chassis systems, which will increase
EV range and user acceptance. Given the recent progress related to in-wheel motors technology, and the benefits of inwheel
architectures in terms of active safety, packaging and drivability, EVC1000 will focus on in-wheel drivetrain layouts, as
well as a wheel-centric integrated propulsion system and EV manager. More specifically, the consortium will develop: - New
components for in-wheel powertrains: i) Efficient, scalable, reliable, low-cost and production-ready in-wheel motors, suitable
for a wide range of torque and power specifications; and ii) Dual inverters for in-wheel motor axles based on Silicon Carbide
technology. The designs will include detailed consideration and measurement of the electro-magnetic compatibility aspects,
as well as the implementation of model-predictive health monitoring techniques of the electronic components. - New
components for electrified chassis control with in-wheel motors: i) Brake-by-wire system for seamless brake blending, high
regeneration capability and enhanced anti-lock braking system control performance; and ii) Electro-magnetic active
suspension actuators, targeting increased comfort and electric vehicle efficiency. - Controllers for the novel EVC1000
components, exploiting the benefits of functional integration, vehicle connectivity and driving automation for advanced
energy management The new EVC1000 components will be showcased in two production-ready electric vehicle
demonstrators of different market segments. EVC1000 will assess the increased energy efficiency and will include
demonstration of long distance daily trips. The vehicle demonstration phase will consider objective and subjective
performance indicators for human factor analysis, to deliver enhanced customer experience.
