The design and development of high performance, low weight-size and cost, reliable, safe and high energy efficient electric/hybrid powertrains are crucial for the successful introduction of the new generation of electric and hybrid vehicles in the market. An overview of the electric/hybrid powertrain subsystems including its control functions is presented in this paper. In addition, some considerations for the design-development-testing through the V-model of the powertrain electronic control units are also outlined, where the current application standards and regulatory laws are reviewed.17enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessjournal article10.1504/IJEHV.2012.047872Electric and hybrid vehiclesModel-based design-development-testingPowertrain control and managementPowertrain subsystemsSafety related electronic control unitsRenewable Energy, Sustainability and the EnvironmentAutomotive EngineeringFuel TechnologySDG 7 - Affordable and Clean EnergySDG 9 - Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructurehttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=84863906131&partnerID=8YFLogxK
