Assignment 2.1
Compute Forces due to drag, rolling resistance and gradient for the following
vehicles assuming ρ = 1.2 (kg/m3) and θ = 8°. For the three vehicles given in
the table, find Aerodynamic drag at velocity v1 and v2; also find rolling
resistance at two velocities.
Vehicle GVW (kg) CD Area(sqm)  v1(kmph) v2(kmph) Tyre radius

(m)
2-wheeler 200 0.9 0.6 0.015 30 80 0.28
3-wheeler 600 0.45 1.6 0.015 30 80 0.2
4-wheeler 1500 0.3 2.5 0.015 30 80 0.3

Solution to Assignment 2.1 (a)
1
For (a), Drag (N) = 2*ρ*CD*A*v2 = 0.5* 1.2 (kg/m3) * A (m2) * CD *v2 (m/sec)2
= 0.5*1.2* 0.6*0.9 * (30*1000/3600)2 = 0.5*1.2*0.6*0.9* (30/3.6)2 = 22.5 N
Drag at 80 kmph = 22.5* (8/3)2 = 160 N
Rolling Resistance = m*g*μ*cosθ = 200(kg) * 9.81 (m/s2) * 0.015 * cos (8*π/180) =29.4N
Climbing force = m*g*sin θ = 200*9.81*sin (8* π/180) = 200*9.81*sin (0.139rad) = 273 N
Note
◦ Units of Drag = Kg*m/sec2 = Newton
◦ 1 kmph = (1000/3600) m/sec = (1/3.6) m/sec

Ptrac applied to vehicle to move
Vehicle needs Traction Power, Ptrac (in Watts), applied for it to move and
accelerate
◦ Traction power in Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) comes from petrol / diesel engine
◦ Traction power in EVs comes from Battery through motors and its controllers
The traction power creates a Force Ftrac on the vehicle to move forward
◦ Ptrac = Ftrac * v, where v is velocity (in m/sec) of the vehicle
The resulting Torque T (in Nm) on the vehicle wheel created by the force is
◦ T = Ftrac * rwheel, where rwheel is radius of the vehicle in meters
Torque and Speed (referred to as rpm) are the fundamental parameters of a

motor or an engine, and vehicle rpm is obtained from v = rpm* 2*π* rwheel /60

v (m/sec) = rpm* 2*π* rwheel /60
v in kmph = v(m/s)* 3600/1000 = (3.6*2 * π /60) * rpm * rwheel
◦ Or v in kmph = 0.377 rpm * rwheel
◦ For example, for a 2-wheeker, if rpm is 7500 and rwheel is 0.28 m, Velocity (kmph) is 790 km
◦ If gear ratio is 9, the vehicle can go to about 89 kmph
◦ The Torque will now gets multiplied by 9

Thus Traction Force is given by
◦ Ftrac = Acceleration Force + Aerodynamic Drag + Rolling Resistance + Climbing Force
𝟏
= m* a + *ρ*CD*A*v2 + m*g*μ + mg sinθ, where a is the acceleration and is dv/dt
𝟐
The energy consumed by vehicle in motion is the integration of Traction Power

◦ 𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 = ‫ 𝒕𝒅 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒕𝑷 ׬‬in Watt-sec and is converted to kWh by dividing by 3.6
◦ Vehicle may have regeneration, which converts deceleration of vehicle while climbing
down or otherwise applying brakes (using Regenerative Braking) into Regenerative Energy
◦ Thus net energy consumed is R * Energy, where R is regeneration efficiency
◦ As Regeneration factor is typically 15% to 30%, R is (1-RegenFactor) or typically 0.85 to 0.70

2.2 Aerodynamic drag, Rolling
Resistance and uphill Resistance

Aerodynamic Drag
𝟏 For a 2-wheeler with velocity of 50 kmph
Aerodynamic Drag = *ρ*CD*A*v2
𝟐 or (50/3.6) m/s, CD= 0.9 and A = 0.5
Vehicle CD A (sq m) ◦ FD = 0.5*1.2*0.9*0.5*(50/3.6)2 = 52.1N
2-wheeler 0.9 0.5 to 0.9 ◦ Reduces to 13N at 25 kmph and 2N for 10kmph
3-wheeler rickshaw 0.44 1.6 to 2
Open Convertible 0.5 to 0.7 1.7 to 2.0 Power required to overcome drag =
Limousine 0.22 to 0.4 1.7 to 2.5 FD(Newton)*v (m/sec) or FD*v (Watts)
Coach 0.4 to 0.8 6 to 10 ◦ For a 2-wheeler at 50 kmph, it is 52.1*(50/3.6)
Truck without trailer 0.45 to 0.8 6 to 10 or 723.6 W
Truck with trailer 0.55 to 1 6 to 10
Articulated Vehicle 0.5 to 0.9 6 to 10 1 Watt = 1 newton meter/second [Nm/s]

Aerodynamic Drag (contd.)
For e-rickshaw at 25 kmph [CD= 0.44 and A = 1.6]
◦ FD = 0.5*1.2*0.44*1.6*(25/3.6)2 = 20.37N
◦ Power required to overcome drag = FD*v (Watts) = 20.37* (25/3.6) = 141.4 W
For a car (Limo) at 50 kmph, [CD= 0.35 and A = 2.5]

◦ FD = 0.5*1.2*0.35*2.5*(50/3.6)2 = 101.27N
◦ At 70 kmph it is 198.5N, whereas at 90 kmph Force is 328N
◦ Power required to overcome drag at 50 kmph = 101.3*(50/3.6) or 1.4 kW
◦ Power for drag at 70 kmph = 198.5*(70/3.6) or 3.9 kW and at 90 kmph = 8.2 kW
Aerodynamic drag increases as square of velocity and Power increases as cube of

velocity

Rolling Resistance
Rolling Resistance = m*g*cosθ*μ ≈ m*g*μ
◦ The rolling resistance coefficient, μ, is a function of
◦ tyre material
◦ tyre structure
◦ tyre temperature
◦ tyre inflation pressure
◦ tread geometry
◦ road roughness
◦ road material and presence of absence of liquids on the road
◦ Also μ is a function of velocity: μ ≈ μ0 (1 + v/160) for cars on concrete up to 120 kmph
◦ And μ0 is rolling resistance at zero velocity
* Generally max grades are limited to 12o; (Cos12 = 0.978 ≈1)

Typical values of Rolling Resistance
◦ Car tyre on smooth tarmac road: 0.01
◦ Car tyre on concrete road : 0.011
◦ Car tyre on a rolled gravel road: 0.02
◦ Tar macadam road 0.025
◦ Unpaved road 0.05
◦ Bad earth tracks 0.16
◦ Loose sand 0.15-0.3
◦ Truck tyre (concrete/ asphalt) 0.006-0.01
◦ Wheel on iron rail 0.001-0.002
Force due to rolling resistance is a function of velocity only at high speed

Rolling Resistance (2W and 3W)
Two wheeler: typical m=(vehicle of 90kg + 100kg load), typical μ is 0.013
◦ FR = m*g*μ*cosθ = 190 kg * 9.81 m/s2 * 0.013 = 24.21 N
◦ twice as much as aerodynamic drag at 25 kmph, but half as much at 50 kmph
◦ Power required = FR *v= 168. 3 Watts for 25 kmph or 336.6 W for 50 kmph
E-rickshaw: typical m=(vehicle of 300kg + 380kg load), typical μ is 0.013

◦ FR = 680 kg * 9.81 m/s2 * 0.013 = 87 N
◦ much higher than aerodynamic drag even at 25 kmph
◦ Power required = 602 Watts for 25 kmph

Rolling Resistance for a 4W
Car: typical m = (800 kg + 400 kg), typical μ is 0.013
◦ FR = 1200 kg * 9.81 m/s2 * 0.013 = 153 N
◦ Much higher than aerodynamic drag even at 50 kmph
◦ Power required = 1062W at 25 kmph

= 2125W at 50 kmph
= 2975W at 70 kmph and
= 3825W at 90 kmph
◦ At 70 kmph, drag and rolling resistance power are similar, but rolling resistance becomes
much less at 90 kmph

Gradient resistance
Fg = mg sinθ Let gradient be 5° or 0.0873 radians
◦ For small θ, one can approximate ◦ 2-wheeler (wt=180kg): Fg = 153.9 N
sinθ as (H/L) ◦ 3-wheeler (wt=680kg): Fg = 581.4 N
◦ 4-wheeler (wt=1200kg): Fg = 1026 N
If gradient is 12 degrees, Force increases to

◦ Fg = 367.1 N for 2W, Fg = 1387N for e-rick
and Fg = 2447.5 for 4W
◦ Assuming wheel radius of 0.28m for 2W, 0.2m
for e-rick and 0.31m for 4W,
H ◦ Torque required is 102 Nm for 2W,
θ 277Nm for e-rick and 759 Nm for 4W
mg
L
◦ As seen later designing motor will be tough
◦ Gear will help, but still…

Power required to climb
Climbing Power required is a function of velocity: Pg (W) = Fg (N)*v (m/s)
◦ Climbing is carried out lower speed
◦ Assuming velocity during climbing is a third of peak velocity, Pg = Fg*v/3 watts
At 5° slope
◦ 2w at 25kmph: Pg = 153.9*25/(3.6*3) = 356W
◦ 3w at 50 kmph: Pg = 581*50/(3.6*3) = 2692W
◦ 4w at 50 kmph: Pg = 1026*50/(3.6*3) = 4750W
At 12° slope, it considerably increases

◦ 2w at 25kmph: Pg = 367.1*25/(3.6*3) = 849.8W
◦ 3w at 50 kmph: Pg = 1387*50/(3.6*3) = 6421W
◦ 4w at 50 kmph: Pg = 2447*50/(3.6*3) = 11.3 kW
◦ However climb Power not a concern. Torque required is tough: will require careful motor design

2.3 Power and Torque to accelerate

Power required for acceleration (pick-up)
What is the Force required to reach maximum
speed vf in T seconds?
◦ Depends on how acceleration takes place
◦ Assuming constant linear acceleration
◦ Acceleration a = vf (meter/sec)/T(sec) = vf/T
◦ Fa (Newtons) = m (kg)* a (meter/sec2)
◦ Acceleration distance s = 0.5*a*T2
◦ Work during acceleration W = Fa * s = 0.5*m* vf2
◦ Avg. Acceleration Power = W/T = 0.5*m* vf2/T
◦ Peak power required = m* vf2/T
if a vehicle accelerates at a rate “a1” for first T/2 time and at a rate “a1/2” from T/2 to T
◦ vf-v0 = a1*T/2 + (a1/2)*T/2 = (3/4)*a1*T; in other words, or a1 = (vf-v0)*(4/3T)
◦ As seen in assignment (1.2), the power required at time T is 0.667 of that for linear acceleration case

Average Power required for acceleration
Reach max speed in T = 20 seconds
2-wheeler (25 kmph or 6.95 m/s):
◦ Fa = mvf/T= 190*6.95/20 = 66N; Torque required assuming wheel-radius = 0.28m is 18.5 Nm
◦ Avg Power req = 0.5* m*vf2/T =0.5*190*(6.95)2/20 = 229W
◦ Peak Power required (will be at 25 kmph) = m*vf2/T = 458W
◦ Torque can be reduced by faster acceleration in the beginning and slower later on
◦ At 50 kmph, Torque required will go up to 37 Nm and peak power required would be 1.83kW
◦ Note that this is due to acceleration alone
E-rickshaw (25kmph or 6.95 m/s)

◦ Fa = 680 *(25/3.6)/20 = 236.1 N; Torque required assuming wheel-radius = 0.2m is 47 Nm
◦ Average Power required = 820 Watts and Peak power required = 1.64kW
◦ At 50kmph, peak power required is 6.5 kW

Power for pick-up acceleration alone
Car (50 kmph or 13.9 m/s)
◦ Fa = 1200*(50/3.6)/20 = 833 N; Torque required assuming wheel-radius = 0.31m is 258Nm
◦ Will require proper gear-ratio to bring it down as motor unlikely to give such torque
◦ Avg. Power to accelerate = 5.79 kW, and peak power in linear acceleration is 11.58kW
◦ At 70 kmph, average power required is 11.3 kW and peak power is 23 kW
◦ At 90 kmph, average power is 18.7 kW and peak power is 37 kW
◦ avoid doubling of the peak power by reducing acceleration as speed increases
What about deceleration and climbing down?

◦ EV can regenerate power and push it to the battery?
◦ Regeneration efficiency = 20% to 30% or even less

Assignment 2.2
a) For the three vehicles given below, compute total traction force assuming
pick-up from 0 to 50 kmph in 20 sec, Power and Torque at the 30 kmph, 50
kmph and 80 kmph. Assume linear acceleration and zero slope.
Vehicle GVW (kg) CD Area(sqm)  v1(kmph) v2(kmph) Tyre radius

(m)
2-wheeler 200 0.9 0.6 0.015 30 80 0.28
3-wheeler 600 0.45 1.6 0.015 30 80 0.2
4-wheeler 1500 0.3 2.5 0.015 30 80 0.3

Assignment 2.2
b) Assume vehicle acceleration is some value for first ten seconds, and half as
much for next ten seconds to still reach 50 kmph in 20 seconds. Now again
compute traction force, Power and Torque at 50 kmph.
c) To reach maximum speed vf in T seconds, if a vehicle accelerates at a rate
“a” for first T/2 time and at a rate “a/2” from T/2 to T. It therefore gives (vf-
v0) = a*T/2 + (a/2)*T/2 = (3/4)*aT and a = (vf-v0)* (4/3T). Find the average
power during acceleration and the power required at the end of time T.
Compare it if there was linear acceleration.

◦ Drag power is only 700W even at 50 kmph, Power required is 6 kW at 80kmph and

2.5 Concept of a Drive-cycle

Drive Cycle
How much energy will a vehicle take per km?
◦ Concept of Energy-efficiency of a vehicle: Wh/km
◦ Depends upon how the vehicle travels and how much energy it takes
◦ Energy required will depend upon Speed, Acceleration, idling, Deceleration
Definition of a Drive-cycle
◦ A definition of how the vehicle is typically driven
◦ Vehicles tested as per a Standard Drive-cycle, against which its performance is measured
and compared for similar vehicles
◦ How long it travels at what speed and how long and when it is accelerated decelerated?

For example
A sedan, as given in slide 28, is travelling at constant speed of 50 kmph on a
flat road for five minutes. What is the distance travelled and energy used.
◦ Fdrag ≈ 150N (from figure) and Frr ≈ 190 Nat 50 kmph. Therefore, traction Force is 340N
◦ Power consumed is 340* (50/3.6) or 4.72 kW
◦ Energy used in 5 minutes = 4.72* 300/3600 kWh or 393 Wh

◦ Distance travelled = (50/3.6)* 300 meters or 4.16 km
◦ Energy used per km ≈ 393/4.16 or 94 Wh/km

Assignment 2.4
a) A sedan, accelerates from 0 to 50 kmph in 20 seconds. It then travels at
constant speed of 50 kmph for five minutes. It then decelerates to 0 kmph
in 20 seconds. Compute the energy used, assuming R=1 and R =0.3 and the
distance travelled. What is Wh/km? Consider the gradient as 0°.

(m2) (kg) (m)
Sedan 1.2 0.35 2.5 0.013 1200 0.31

Assignment 2.4
b) The sedan now goes from 0 to 25 kmph in 15 seconds, travel at 25 kmph for
2 minutes, speeds up to 50 kmph in another 15 seconds, travel for 4
minutes at 50 kmph and then decelerates to 0 kmph in 20 seconds.
Compute the energy used, assuming R=1 and R =0.3 and the distance
travelled. What is Wh/km? Consider the gradient as 0°.

Standard Drive Cycle
A drive cycle is standardised, so that different vehicles can be tested and
compared
◦ Each vehicle type (two-wheeler / small car / bus) may have its own drive-cycle
◦ Each city / town may have its own drive-cycle
◦ Usually climbing a slope and coming down a slope not a part of drive-cycle
◦ A hill-terrain drive cycle should include it: their own drive-cycles
Different countries have different drive-cycles, based on how the vehicles are
driven in the country
Drive-cycle defined for a limited time: tests repeat this several times
◦ Measurements taken over multiple cycles

1. Prepare a spread sheet for 2-wheeler IDC using data given in slide 2-
wheeler/Auto Indian Drive Cycle (IDC). Obtain the traction Force, traction
Power, and the torque required every second. Compute the total energy
consumed and the distance travelled. Obtain Wh/km for the vehicle.
Assume R=0.3 and gradient 0°.

Assignment 2.5
2. Now assume that at 100 seconds in the drive cycle, the vehicle moves at
constant speed, but climbs a slope of 5° for 10 seconds. The vehicle then
goes to zero speed in the next eight second, just like it does from 100 sec to
108 sec in IDC. Now compute energy required, distance travelled and
Wh/km, again assuming R=0.3

To Sum Up
A low-end two-wheeler consumes only 15.38 Wh per km (without taking into
account any regeneration)
◦ With 50% regeneration, energy consumed goes down to 13.34 Wh per km
◦ Can travel about 70 kms with just 1 kWh of available battery energy (Using about 1.25 kWh
of battery)
The computation assumes every element of drive-train to be ideal

◦ Inefficiencies may take up to 20% or more toll

E-rickshaw Summary
Even with higher weight, the energy efficiency is below 35 Wh/km with 50%
regeneration efficiency
◦ A 2.5 kWh battery will easily give over 50 km range, even taking into account
◦ Inefficiencies of motors and controllers
◦ Usage capacity of the battery of 85% of actual battery capacity
◦ Reduction in battery capacity with time
◦ But overloading and over-speeding will end-up consuming more energy, reducing range
◦ Motors need to be designed to give high efficiencies even at lower speeds

4-wheeler Summary
Most energy consumed between 800 seconds and 1200 seconds of drive-
cycle, when vehicle speeds goes to 70 kmph and 90 kmph
◦ Yet 80 Wh/km to 90 Wh/km is very good
◦ Energy consumed may be significantly increased by motor and controller inefficiencies

◦ If motors designed for higher efficiencies at higher speeds (70kmph to 80 kmph), efficiencies would
be very poor at lower speeds
◦ unless motor is designed to have relatively flat efficiencies over speeds
◦ Typical induction motor based vehicle gives 125 Wh/km
◦ Motors have to be also designed to have high torque for rapid pick-up and for climbing
slopes

Summary of the pick-up truck
As vehicle weight increases, the energy consumption per km goes up
◦ A 200 km range will require about 50 kWh battery
◦ As only 85% of battery can be useable and battery capacity can go down to 80% with use,
as discussed later
◦ Battery required will be close to 75 kWh, which itself will add 400 kg weight
◦ Computations carried out without taking motor and controller inefficiencies (losses), which
could add another 15% size and weight
The torque requirement is close to 3000 Nm for vehicle-start at 20% slope

◦ Single gear may be difficult (to be discussed later in chapter 3)

2.8 Vehicle Dynamics Conclusion
Some Considerations

Drag and Rolling Resistance dependence
Eff(Wh/km) as Cd varies with μ=0.006 of Energy required per km for a
90.000
80.000
compact Sedan (assuming R of 0.5)
70.000 ◦ Dependent strongly on aerodynamics
60.000
50.000
◦ Varies strongly with drag coefficient Cd
40.000 ◦ Better aero-dynamics of vehicle will help
0.25 0.3 0.35 0.4 0.45 0.5
Cd
◦ Also depends on rolling resistance μ

Eff(Wh/km) as μ varies with Cd=0.4
100 ◦ Better tyres could help

50
0.005 0.006 0.007 0.008 0.009 0.01 ◦ With 100% regeneration, it is 62.8Wh/km
μ

Torque as well as Power Requirement
Largely driven by the pick-up time (ACCELEARTION)
◦ will require high Torque
and the slope: Again requiring high Torque

Power required will be high for higher speeds
◦ Not significant for speeds up to 60 kmph
◦ 100 kmph or 130 kmph speeds (or even 150 kmph speeds on highways) would need large
Power: Power is proportional a cube of velocity
Besides Torque and Power, vehicle speed (rpm) is a major parameter

◦ Right gear ratio has to be chosen to optimise Torque and Speed
◦ Should one use multiple gear or single gear: EV trend is for single gear

Energy Required per km and its impact
The Design Computation here did not consider inefficiencies of Motors and
controllers
◦ They will play a major role in power consumption
◦ and will push-up battery size to cater for higher Energy Requirement
◦ Will require batteries with higher Power capacity (C-rate) to cater to peak Power Requirement
Motors and Controller have to be defined for a certain output power and
torque, rather than input power based on efficiencies
◦ Inefficiencies will cause higher power dissipation as heat: Thermal design require to cater
to that
Have not considered Auxiliary Power and Energy Requirements

We also need to consider
Drive-train Voltage to be used: derived form Battery voltage
◦ 48V or 72V for small vehicles
◦ 2-wheelers, three-wheelers and small four-wheelers (a few hundred Watts to up to 15 kW)
◦ As current increases, the losses in motor conductors will increase: will need thicker conductors
◦ 350V for larger cars and pick-ups

◦ Motors up to 75 kW
◦ 750V for motors for buses and trucks

◦ 80 kW to 300 kW
Use of Distributed motors could reduce power required

What we did in the Chapter and why?
An Electric Vehicle would need to have
◦ Motor and Controller to drive the vehicle as per the drive-train requirement
◦ And also the torque requirement
◦ Battery with sufficient Energy to drive the vehicle for specific range
◦ Also should be able to give enough power even when battery gets old and have less capacity
We have learned to compute what does different vehicles require for a drive
◦ Power, Energy, Torque
◦ We have learned the impact of various parameters like rolling-resistance, aerodynamic
coefficients, Vehicle frontal Area, weight, slope, pick-up or acceleration, Regeneration
required on Power, Energy and Torque
◦ Now we look at how to design an Electric Vehicle to meet the requirement

Finally
A good understanding of vehicle-dynamics (common for ICE and Electric
Vehicles) prepares ground for EV subsystem Designs
◦ EV Drive-train Requirement comes form this
◦ Power, Torque, Speed and Energy Considerations
