Hybrid and electric vehicle technology has seen rapid development in recent years. The
motor and the generator are at the heart of the vehicle drive and energy system and often …

Several factors including fossil fuels scarcity, prices volatility, greenhouse gas emissions or
current pollution levels in metropolitan areas are forcing the development of greener …

With rapid electrification of transportation, it is becoming increasingly important to have a
comprehensive understanding of criteria used in motor selection. This paper presents the …

Traction motors play a critical role in electrified vehicles, including electric, hybrid electric,
and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. With high efficiency and power density, interior …

Many electric traction drive systems (ETDSs) are driven by electric motors primarily
composed of high-energy rare-earth (RE) permanent magnets (PMs), such as neodymium …

In recent decades, factors such as the worldwide growing concern for pollution induced
climate changes, increasingly stringent emission norms for vehicles and depleting …

An optimally designed ferrite permanent magnet (PM)-assisted synchronous reluctance
machine (PMaSynRM) is presented to demonstrate its feasibility in electric vehicle …

System integration and power-flow control of on-board power sources are critical to the
performance and cost competitiveness of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). The existing …

Performance trade offs for achieving high torque density and high drive-cycle efficiency in
spoke-type permanent magnet (PM) motors are investigated. Unlike the traditional method …

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) provide much promise in reducing greenhouse gas
emissions and, thus, are a focal point of research and development. Existing on-board …
