- The paper presents the simulation results of twin motors 4WD Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). Each of the twin traction motors can provide power of up to 50 kW; one drives the front wheels while the other drives the rear wheels. A 4-cylinders gasoline engine and a 60 kW generator coupled to the front axle through a hydraulic separation clutch. This configuration offers optimum PHEV performance in three different driving modes (EV, Series & Parallel). The simulation results of two different drive cycles cover the vehicle performance, energy consumption, efficiencies and performances of the powertrain components.
