Abstract :
Featuring compact structure, short transmission chain and high efficiency, the distributed drive electric vehicle has arisen great attention worldwide. In this paper, the research and development status of distributed drive electric vehicle chassis configuration is summarized. Specifically to suppress the negative effects of unsprung mass of the distributed drive electric vehicle, several novel schemes are introduced based on methods of lightweight design, mass transfer, dynamic vibration absorber and active suspension. Combined with some novel technologies, the developing trend of distributed drive electric vehicle chassis is discussed.
