Electric powertrain layouts analysis for controlling vehicle lateral dynamics with torque vectoring

The electrification of vehicle offers the possibility of developing several powertrain layouts due to the use of more than one electric motor. If more than one motor is used to drive a single axle of the vehicle, it is extremely simple to develop torque vectoring based control strategies. In this paper, the effect of torque vectoring applied to different powertrain layouts for HEV is shown and analyzed.
