Integrated powertrain architecture: BYDRecent Research Landscape

Mechanical losses and packaging constraints in electric vehicles increase manufacturing complexity and energy waste. These innovations consolidate the motor, transmission, and axle into a singular structural unit to maximize torque density.

What technical problems is BYD addressing in Integrated powertrain architecture?

Powertrain integration complexity and footprint

(60)evidences

Suboptimal spatial arrangement and component interference in multi-source propulsion systems. Minimizing packaging volume and mechanical losses increases vehicle energy density.

Uncontrolled wheel speed divergence

(43)evidences

Limited spatial volume for integrating multi-motor propulsion systems. Overcoming these constraints allows for enhanced vehicle maneuverability and dynamic torque distribution.

Unintended vehicle rolling

(39)evidences

Inadequate mechanical restraint in electric drive reduction units. Preventing rolling ensures safety and regulatory compliance in integrated powertrains.

Excessive powertrain spatial footprint

(27)evidences

Inefficient spatial integration between the powertrain housing and vehicle chassis limits cabin space and increases vehicle footprint. Reducing assembly volume allows for higher energy density and improved vehicle packaging efficiency.

Inefficient mechanical power transfer

(4)evidences

Fragmented powertrain components cause excessive spatial requirements and parasitic energy losses. Consolidating these systems reduces packaging volume and improves overall vehicle efficiency.
