Abstract :
Zero-emission vehicles are defined as cars with no gaseous emissions, such as NOx, CO, HC and particulate matter. In this paper, the design of the electrical drive train of a zero-emission vehicle, comparable with the smart for two car, is given. The design of the drive train is evaluated by MATLAB/Simulink simulation according to the calculated mass and losses of the drive train components. The loss calculation models for the main electrical and mechanical components are presented in detail. The obtained simulation results are represented by the car range and the acceleration of the car.
