Abstract
Global emission regulations are becoming more
and more stringent with every passing legislation.
To meet these requirements, OEMs are turning
to electrified powertrain technologies. Often
conflicting global regulatory requirements
prevent OEMs from offering a system that
may provide the most benefit to society as
well as realizing economies of scale. There are
many levels of electrification – from minimal
electrification as in the start/stop application
to an electric-only powertrain of the BEV – with
each variant of electrification having different
levels of acceptance by the typical customer. The
main challenge facing the OEMs is to put forth
a portfolio of electrified vehicles that not only
satisfy the regulatory requirements, but also are
acceptable to the mainstream customer and do all
this profitably.

Abstract
In this Car of the Future report, we attempt to
explain and evaluate those global automotive
technologies that will shape tomorrow’s cars —
from assembly to safety to fuel. In identifying
and evaluating these future technologies, we
also put together a basic investor framework
that evaluates the potential for each technology
by asking some simple questions — things like
“Is there a specific regulatory driver?” Or “Is it
reasonably affordable to consumers?” We think
this is a good starting point for sorting through
the plethora of opportunity and change that’s out
there.

Abstract
The market for Plug-In Electric Vehicles (PEVs)
in the U.S. is inherently uncertain; analysts have
projected market penetrations ranging from nearnothing to near-market saturation over time. Two
useful analytical frameworks for making sense of
this uncertainty are 1) a total costs of ownership
(TCO) comparison, which examine vehicle prices,
operating costs, and payback period potential;
and 2) vehicle choice models (VCM) that estimate
consumer willingness-to-pay at the interface of
vehicle characteristics and driver preferences.
This presentation will introduce and apply a
suite of U.S. Department of Energy and National
Laboratory TCO and VCM models to explore
technology and policy options that can help
facilitate an electric mobility future.

There are a variety of Plug-in Vehicles (PEVs)
on the road today with different battery sizes
and different powertrain strategies ranging from
pure electric operation in a BEV to gasoline and
electric operation in a PHEV. How are consumers
using these vehicles and why do some households
with the same vehicle type get more or fewer
electric vehicle miles traveled (eVMT)? This
presentation describes ongoing work comparing
one year of in-use data from instrumented
household vehicles including ICEs to different
metrics: consumer characteristics (number of
drivers, number of other vehicles, commute/travel
needs), access to charging, price of electricity,
attitudes (purchase motivation, motivation to
plug-in), vehicle range and vehicle design.

Abstract
Whereas PHEVs with full “E-REV” capability
have predicable operational characteristics in
their respective modes, estimations regarding
benefits for blended-type PHEVs in fuel
displacement and reduced engine-start emissions
can vary dramatically depending upon many
design aspects. Using test results from several
production PHEVs and analysis of driving
patterns, expected benefits are presented along
with outcomes that are highly uncertain. The
conclusions highlight a pressing need for better
understanding of in-use driving patterns in order
to fully quantify the benefits of different PHEV
designs for both certification and real-world use.

Abstract
Connected & Automated Vehicles (CAVs) have
the potential to significantly affect future
transportation technologies in the areas of
safety, mobility and energy. So far, most of the
research has been focused on safety. Related
to energy, some preliminary work performed
under the leadership of the DOT/AERIS program
has focused on individual vehicles based on
current conventional powertrain technologies.
The objective of the project is to assess the
energy impact of CAVs of individual vehicles
as well as fleets (i.e. up to several million trips)
for a wide range of powertrain configurations
(i.e., conventional, BISG, CISG, HEV, PHEV,
BEV, FCHEV) and component technologies (i.e.
current & future). Due to the large number of
technologies and use cases related to CAVs,
several set of tools have been integrated and/
or developed to evaluate the impact of multiple
electric drive vehicles from start-stop to HEVs,
PHEVs and BEVs. The presentation will describe
the processes as well as provide examples of
energy impact such as dedicated lanes for trucks

Abstract
Global regulatory changes, coupled with the
customer wants, are driving the need for
various levels of electrification of powertrains.
Depending on the customer drive cycle, Mild
hybrids, operating at 48V, may provide an optimal
cost-benefit solution. 48V Mild hybrids provide
an intermediate level of electrification between
a 12V start/stop system and 200V+ “Full” hybrid
system offering minimal electric only propulsion
and regen capture. A Mild hybrid architecture
using a B-ISG is versatile enough to work with
Gas and Diesel engines, Manual and Automatic
transmissions. Due to their parallel configuration,
Mild hybrids are well suited for high-speed driving
while providing a premium start-stop experience
on city driving. Furthermore, the presence
of an onboard high voltage source enables
the implementation and use of many other
vehicle features which may enhance the vehicle
experience for the customer.

The Chevrolet Volt is an electric vehicle with
a gasoline range extender. For 2016, GM has
developed second generation of the Volt vehicle
and “Voltec” propulsion system. Building on
the experience of the first generation Volt, the
second generation targeted improved all-electric
range, improved charge sustaining fuel economy,
improved performance, and significant cost
reduction. All of this was to be accomplished
while maintaining the EV character of the first
generation Volt which customers clearly valued.
This presentation describes the next generation
“Voltec” system and the realized improvements in
efficiency and performance.

2nd Generation Volt Electric Motors - Design and
Optimization for Performance and Rare-Earth Mitigation
Sinisa Jurkovic joined General Motors
Electrification group in 2008 after graduating
from Michigan State University with a Ph.D. in
Electrical Engineering.
Sinisa Jurkovic
General Motors
He currently serves as Engineering Manager of
Electric Power Conversion Controls group in GMs
Global Electric Drive organization, working on
electric motor control algorithms development for
traction application in HEVs.
Prior to his current assignment Sinisa spent
several years as Sr. Electro-magnetic motor
design engineer working on design, analysis and
optimization of electric machines for Hybridelectric and fuel cell vehicle applications. His
professional interests include; hybrid-electric
vehicles, optimization methods for electric
machines and drives and power electronics. He is
an active member of SAE and IEEE.
Abstract
This presentation describes the design and
performance details of electric propulsion
system for GM’s second generation Extended
Range Electric Vehicle (EREV). First generation
Chevrolet Volts have been driven over half a
billion miles in North America from October
2013 through September 2014, 74% of which
were all-electric. The second generation of
Volt brings a significant mass reduction and
increased performance, EV driving range and
fuel economy while simultaneously reducing rare
earth content in its traction electric motors. The
electric propulsion system is built on two electric
machines; both PMAC topology. While hybridelectric vehicles are gaining in popularity in
hopes of addressing cleaner, energy sustainable
technology in transportation, materials
sustainability and rare earth dependence
mitigation has not been the first priority in the
hybrids available on the market today. Design
robustness to material cost volatility is crucial
in automotive industry success and therefore
designing electric propulsion to minimize or
eliminate rare earth usage plays a major role in
HEVs success. The objective of this work is to
present the newly redesigned propulsion system
for added performance while simultaneously
reducing the rare earth and heavy rare earth
content by over 85% and 50% respectively and in
turn the cost of the system and yielding all around
“cleaner” and more sustainable vehicle.
From an engineering point of view, this
is a tall order by any measure so various
technologies were utilized to achieve this goal.
The presentation will discuss grain boundary
dysprosium diffusion process in permanent
magnets as means to rare earth reduction
in PMAC machines and design challenges
surrounding such material use. We will also
examine innovative PMAC topologies employing
ferrite magnets to completely eliminate rare earth
usage while maintaining the electric drive unit
performance. The design of electric machines will
be discussed in detail along with performance
measurement results as well as thermal and NVH
aspects.

Abstract
Near-field electromagnetic resonant induction
based wireless power transfer systems have
achieved great developments in recent ten
years for charging portable electronics, medical
devices, home and industrial devices, and electric
vehicles.
levels and only very few applications can
demonstrate >10kW power transfer rate. For
heavy duty vehicles including fleet and cargo
trucks and shuttles, a minimum 30-80kW would
be required for reasonable charging times. For
larger busses and semi-trucks, >100kW power
transfer rate is typically desired.
For high power applications important challenges
remain for areas in electromagnetic coupler
architecture and design, high power – power
electronic converter (inverter and rectifier)
design, and the thermal management for both
the coupler and the power electronics. The other
significant challenge is the greater air gaps that
are likely to occur for a WPT deployment in
heavy duty vehicles that results in lower coupling
factor, reduced efficiency, higher field emissions,
and higher reactive power burden on the high
frequency power inverter to magnetize the
mutual inductance branch.
Although high power WPT systems have
been investigated recently, there is limited
literature work that has focused on the design
methodology of the high power WPT system
with high efficiency, low fringe field emissions,
and low flux density. This study presents a design
methodology for a high power WPT system
along with component models and preliminary
simulation results.
Currently, for electric vehicles, most of

able to supply electrical power to home using a
V2H system in addition to be able to be charged
from a domestic outlet. To date, the use of a
V2H system had only been approved for allelectric vehicles such as the Mitsubishi i-MiEV
series. However, it has recently been approved
that the Outlander PHEV will be treated as an
all-electric as its engine does not run while the
vehicle is connected to a V2H system. The V2H
system makes it possible to use the Outlander
PHEV as an emergency power source, supplying
electricity stored in the vehicle’s drive battery to
run domestic appliances in a power outage or a
natural disaster. This is a world-first for a plug-in
hybrid electric vehicle. As a result, both current
and future owners of the Outlander PHEV will be
now able to use a V2H system.
This presentation will provide an update on this
technology and process to bring into North
