An electric vehicle powertrain mainly consists of an electric motor-driven system, a mechanical transmission and other components. This project aims to explore innovative powertrains with a regenerative braking function to maximise driving range, reduce power consumption, and enhance the dynamic performance of electrified vehicles. The proposed powertrains are expected to achieve seamless gear changing for driving and better braking performance by applying magnetorheological technology for a high-quality control of power-shifting, and therefore significantly improve vehicle dynamic and economic performance. A new era of high-efficiency electric powertrains could potentially be launched through the development of these novel technologies.
