Abstract

The increasing emphasis on energy conservation and environmental sustainability has accelerated the transition toward electric vehicles as a key component of future transportation systems. Among the critical subsystems, the power transmission system plays a central role in determining the overall efficiency and performance of electric vehicles. This study focuses on the design and simulation of the transmission system for a small electric car, with a particular emphasis on analyzing its dynamic behavior. Additionally, key performance characteristics such as wheel torque are derived based on simulation results obtained from the developed vehicle model.
