How to build optimal vehicular powertrains? We study this question and propose an algorithm inspired by a domain-general design process. The basic idea is to interplay co-biasingly between the local approximations of discrete design and the global refinements of continuous parameters. The proposed method was evaluated to design powertrains of four types of vehicles: Series Hybrid Electric Vehicle(SHEV), Parallel Hybrid Electric Vehicle(PHEV), Fuel Cell(FC) and Electric Vehicle(EV). Simulation results show noticeable improvements on mileage per gas emissions over different study cases. To our knowledge, this is the first study aiming at designing vehicle powertrains considering the holistic point of view. © Springer-Verlag 2013.
