Abstract Task 17 of the International Energy Agency’s Implementing Agreement for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles was working on the System Optimization and Vehicle Integration of electrified vehicles to enhance the overall vehicles performance. The Task successfully demonstrated that lightening the vehicle (by using bionic concepts, smart materials and functional integration), improving the electric power control unit (trough improvement of the electrical and electronic architecture), optimizing thermal management solutions and improving the battery management system, can help to improve the energy efficiency and the overall system performance of such a vehicle. These improvements can significantly increase the drive range and reduce costs and therefore can make the vehicle more attractive in terms of customer acceptance. Some of the developed methods and improvements are now being used in current vehicles, which highlight the significant importance and success of this Task.
