Efficiency Improvement Of Electric Vehicle By Using Dual Speed Transmission

The future of transportation leads significantly towards sustainability and efficiency, which are optimized by the development of electric vehicles. This project explores the development of a dual-speed transmission model for EVs using MATLAB simulation to assess the potential gains in efficiency and overall vehicle performance by using the MIDC drive cycle. System requirements, including the desired gear ratios, drive cycle, vehicle mass, motor torque, etc., to achieve specific efficiency and performance goals. MATLAB Simulink is used to create a simulation model that includes a dynamic EV powertrain with a dual-speed transmission subsystem. The project will compare the implications of integrating a single-speed transmission system with a more complex dual-speed transmission system, examining their impacts on the vehicle's range and SOC consumed.
