Rational choice of torques distribution between the front and back electric motors of automobile wheels drive

Abstract Two-axle all-wheel drive automobiles and the procedure for determining the torques between the front and back driving wheels are considered. The influence of the distribution of torques between the front and back driving wheels of all-wheel drive two-axle automobiles on their controllability, stability and energy efficiency is analyzed. A study was conducted to improve the energy efficiency of two-axle automobiles by rationally choosing the torque distribution coefficient between the front and back wheels. A mathematical model of the efficiency ratio of the wheel drive of a two-axle automobile was obtained, which makes it possible to determine the ratio of the rational distribution of torques between the front and back wheels through its optimization. It has been proven that the use of electric automobiles and automobiles with a combined power unit will allow to control the distribution of torques between their front and back wheels controlled by electric motors. The proposed rational choice of the distribution of torques between the front and rear electric motors of the wheel drive will allow to increase the efficiency of the wheel drive and improve the energy efficiency not only of single electric automobiles and hybrid automobiles, but also of road trains that use a combined electromechanical drive of the driving wheels.
