Studies on Energy Consumption of Electric Light Commercial Vehicle Powered by In-Wheel Drive Modules

This article presents the results of energy consumption research for an electric light commercial vehicle (eLCV) powered by a centrally located motor (4 × 2 drive system) or motors placed in the vehicle’s wheels (4 × 4 drive system). For the considered constructions of electric drive systems, mathem...
