The main objective of this work is to describe a virtual prototype of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) by the use of a suitable simulation model. This is an important step in the development of the HEVs due to the following two reasons: (i) a good virtual prototype allows for proof testing before hardware is assembled, which means likely reduction in the manufacturing cost and time, and (ii) new design possibilities can be explored; e.g., study of tradeoffs between sizes of components in the HEV is feasible.The manuscript outlines the original solutions adopted to design and powering an original three-wheel lightweight HEV operating for medium and short distance drives in urban environments that has zero CO2 emissions and has a silent performance. This vehicle is legislated as a tricycle and it can carry three people, i.e., two passengers and one driver. The electrical HEV motorization is carry out by an axial-flux permanent magnet machine (AFPM) with a single toroidal stator being placed between two permanent-magnet (PM) rotor discs. The electrical supply is realized by a fuel-cell-battery core.
