Abstract

Abstract: With the more stringent regulations on emissions and fuel economy the electric, hybrid and fuel cell vehicles have attracted more and more attentions by automakers, governments and customers. This paper reviews the state of the art of electric, hybrid and fuel cell vehicles with focus on their technical features and commercial road map. The fundamental features of electric, hybrid and fuel fell vehicles are summarized. The importance of using engineering philosophy as overall guidance for research & development is emphasized. The architecture and functionality of powertrains is distinctly analyzed. The challenge of energy management is explored, the function and interaction of global control and local is discussed, and the possible types of appropriate control model are suggested. As electric vehicle industry is a disruptive industry, a novel approach for commercialization is discussed. A comprehensive system approach should be adopted to achieve three goodness factors, namely good product, good infrastructure and good business model.

Key words: electric vehicle (EV), hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), fuel cell vehicles (FCV)
