Dimensionamento do sistema de tração para veículos elétricos - tração dianteira in-wheel

Abstract

Some factors such as concerns about the environment, energy efficiency, advances in research related to energy sources and storage that make it possible to increase the energy density and power of these elements, has led to an increase in interest in electric vehicles. The objective of this work is to evaluate and present an easy - to - understand methodology for the sizing of the traction system of an electric vehicle, and to show that the values obtained correspond to the characteristics of commercially constituted vehicle components. In this work, results are presented for the sizing of the traction system of a purely electric vehicle, so that this system meets the requirements for the vehicle to have a range of 60 km, taking into account the Brazilian driving cycle NBR 6601. Another important aspect of this Work is to present the possibility of reducing costs and time in the construction of prototypes, a fundamental factor to reduce production costs and consequently entails a reduction in the amount passed on to the consumer.
