Abstract :
As a four in-wheel-motor drive electric vehicle has the four independent in-wheel motors and four independent steering, an independent suspension is needed to reduce the uneven tire wear caused by unbalanced suspension. This paper is to present a novel design of an independent suspension for a four in-wheel-motor drive electric vehicle.
