An optimal design and control technology of a wheel motor is proposed for small electric
passenger cars. The axial-flux sandwich-type disc motor is designed with a rotor embedded …

We present dedicated designs of optimal current waveforms for disk-type axial-flux wheel
motors. The four-phase dedicated wheel motor has been designed and installed directly …

We have applied multiobjective optimal design to a brushless dc wheel motor. The resulting
axial-flux permanent-magnet motor has high torque-to-weight ratio and motor efficiency and …

This paper presents a high efficiency direct wheel motor drive for electric vehicles (EVs). The
proposed motor is a permanent magnet square-wave motor whose rotor with rare earth …

This paper presents the computer-aided design (CAD) and performance analysis of a novel
direct-driven wheel brushless DC motor drive for electric vehicles (EVs). The proposed …

This paper outlines the original solutions adopted for powering a nonconventional three-
wheel electric vehicle. This is a lightweight vehicle for use in urban mobility with mission …

The use of in-wheel motors as a source of propulsion for electric vehicles is particularly
attractive because they offer new levels of controllability in the vehicle, whilst also freeing up …

This paper describes a dynamics and control study for rail vehicles using independently-
driven wheel motors based upon a novel traction motor where the motor is embedded inside …

Propulsion architectures within current electric vehicles do not exploit the versatility and
potential of electric motors as they are implemented on axle and require mechanical …

For many, in wheel motors offer a panacea for vehicle design. However history shows the
delivery of an acceptable in wheel motor is a deeply challenging task which is dedicated to …
