Abstract
A major portion of current research in the automotive industry involves the study of the overall efficiency of advanced vehicular power trains. The improvement of overall energy efficiency is one of the most important subjects for developing hybrid electric, fuel cell, and battery electric vehicle (HEV, FCV, and BEV) technologies. This paper aims at developing a basis for comparison of overall efficiencies of advanced vehicular topologies for the above-mentioned advanced vehicular systems.
