Technology Review of Electric Motor for Hybrid-Electric Vehicle

Electric motors which are used as an electric vehicle propulsion have different types, including induction, permanent magnet, and switched reluctance motor. Each type has its characteristics for supporting hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) application purposes. Furthermore, the drivetrain of the propulsion system may be assembled on series, parallel, and series-parallel to build a hybrid system. Therefore, this study aims to deliver the latest electric motor technology based on HEV applications. The advantages of each motor type were presented by comparing the efficiency improvements on hybrid application and pollutant emission reduction on HEV. Furthermore, fuel consumption in the urban street environment and extreme routes such as mountain roads and high-velocity purposes were also presented.
