The potential influence of hybrid and electric drivetrains on vehicle’s motion direction
The paper indicated that hybrid and electric drivetrains, besides its well known ecological values, are particularly advantageous for designing advanced systems of wheel control, which influence the direction of vehicle’s motion (Torque Vectoring). Starting from the description of complex systems meant for combustion engine powered vehicles, it was stated that when wheels are propelled by electric motors, realization of such system is simpler. The basic types and examples of such designs were reviewed; and their structure, associated issues and limitations were emphasized. The summary underlined the importance of this aspect of electric motor propulsion, which translates into improved active safety of vehicles.
