The so-called "powertrain" includes three assemblies: drive motor, controller, and power converter. The 'power transmission system' consists of components such as the drive motor, gearbox, and differential.The book introduces two concepts: the "integrated" drive system for electric vehicles and the "integrated" drive system for electric vehicles. The so-called "integrated" drive system for electric vehicles refers to the integrated electric drive system (IEDS), which assembles the electric motor, gear transmission device, and drive axle together to reduce redundant components in traditional automotive power transmission systems, forming an integrated drive component that completes the power transmission system of electric vehicles for starting, driving, and braking. The highly "integrated" electric vehicle power system constitutes a highly integrated electric drive system (HIEDS), which integrates the controller, power converter, and cooling device of the motor drive system into the integrated power transmission system. By using the reasonable matching technology between the drive motor and the transmission system, the optimal control of the electric vehicle is achieved, making the function of the drive transmission system more excellent and the structure more compact.

    Manufacturing: Design, Science and Engineering of How Things are Made, Second Edition presents a fresh view on the world of industrial production, in terms of both abstraction levels and trade-offs. The book invites its readers to distinguish between what is possible in principle for a certain process (as determined by physical law); what is possible in practice (the production method as determined by industrial state-of-the-art); and what is possible for a certain supplier (as determined by its production equipment). Specific processes considered include metal forging, extrusion, and casting; plastic injection molding and thermoforming; additive manufacturing; joining; recycling, and more. By tackling the field of manufacturing processes from this new angle, the book makes the most out of a reader's limited time. It gives the knowledge needed to not only create well-producible designs, but also to understand supplier needs in order to find the optimal compromise. Apart from improving design for production, this publication raises the standards of thinking about producibility.
