Wheel Corner Module Energy Losses and Potential Improvements

With the inevitable shift of automotive industry towards E-mobility and mandatory fuel efficiency targets, there is a need to evaluate the energy losses in the vehicle & identify potential areas of improvement. Energy losses are calculated for different components in the corner module system of a passenger car. Contribution of losses (resistances) from respective component are depicted using simple analytical models. Potential energy saving improvements were identified and analyzed basis emerging technologies in respective areas.
