Summary
The powertrain is at the heart of vehicle design; the engine – whether it is a conventional, hybrid or electric design – provides the motive power, which is then managed and controlled through the transmission and final drive components. The overall powertrain system therefore defines the dynamic performance and character of the vehicle.
The design of the powertrain has conventionally been tackled by analyzing each of the subsystems individually and the individual components, for example,…
