ABSTRACT
In the engineering and design of vehicles-on-wheels vehicle dynamics is the study of the vehicle in motion and how it behaves in motion. It is important for design and engineering professionals to fully understand what a vehicle does and basically what it adds up to. Essentially, EVs work in generally the same way as ones powered by gas, diesel, biodiesel, and hydrogen. There is a fuel source, a drive unit, and a gearbox to provide forward and backward motion. In short, a vehicle-on-wheels includes subsystems/modules as follows.
EV power module—includes EV Traction, Electronic Control Unit (ECU), Transmission Control Unit (TCU), motor, gear box—single-speed transmission, drive axles.
EV chassis module—includes suspension, steering, braking and parking, tires and wheels.
EV body module—includes bonnet, doors, roof, trims, and so forth.
