Course Overview:
It has been well recognized that electric, hybrid electric, and fuel cell-powered drive train technologies
are the most promising solutions to the problem of land transportation in the future. This book will
serve to educate students on aspects of electric vehicles, which will generate interest to support the
development and use of electric vehicles. This course deals with the fundamentals, theory, and design of,
electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). It comprehensively presents vehicle
performance, configuration, control strategy, design methodology, modeling, and simulation for
different conventional and modern vehicles based on mathematical equations.

The course introduces vehicle system analysis, ICE-based drive trains, EV design, HEV configurations,
electric propulsion systems, series/parallel/mild hybrid electric drive train design methodologies,
energy storage systems, regenerative braking, fuel cells and their applications in vehicles, and fuel cell
hybrid electric drive train design. It emphasizes the overall drive train system and not just specific
components. The design methodology is described by step-by-step mathematical equations.

Scope of the Course:

The course enables the students to:
1. To explain the basics of electric and hybrid electric vehicles, their architecture, technologies and
fundamentals.
2. To understand design principles of hybrid vehicle drive train
3. To explain design & control strategy of series-parallel hybrid drive train
4. To understand control principles of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles
