Development of Wheel Hub Motor Drive Application in Electric Vehicles

Based on the comparative analysis of the performance characteristics of centralized and distributed drive electric vehicles, we can say that, the wheel hub motor drive mode of the electric vehicles with distributed drive have compact structure, high utilization ratio of interior vehicle space, lower center of vehicle gravity, good driving stability, easy intelligent control and many other advantages, hence in line with the new requirements for the development of drive performance of electric vehicles, and distributed drive will be the ultimate mode of electric vehicles in the future. The objective in this project is to design a wheel hub motor for Formula Student type race car applications.
