Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In an era defined by rapid technological advancement, the automotive industry is undergoing a transformative shift towards innovation that goes beyond conventional mechanics. At the forefront of this evolution is the integration of electromagnetic technology into vehicles, revolutionizing their efficiency, safety, and overall performance. This convergence of automotive and electromagnetic engineering has given rise to a new wave of possibilities, where vehicles are no longer mere modes of transportation, but intelligent, interconnected systems.

Electromagnetic technology's application in the automotive sector encompasses a diverse range of advancements. From electric propulsion systems that are environmentally conscious and offer exhilarating acceleration, to cutting-edge sensor technologies that enable autonomous driving capabilities, the impact of electromagnetic innovation is multifaceted. Moreover, electromagnetic compatibility solutions play a pivotal role in ensuring the seamless coexistence of various electronic components within vehicles, enhancing both reliability and functionality.

This Special Issue aims to explore the pivotal role played by electromagnetic technology in shaping the vehicles of tomorrow by examining challenges, breakthroughs, and potential future developments.

This work presents a novel electromagnetic clutch installed on the crankshaft pulley to decouple the internal combustion engine from the front-end accessory drive of a P0 hybrid electric vehicle. The objective is to supply the air conditioning compressor directly with the belt starter–generator electric machine without dragging the inertia of the engine during engine fuel cut-off phases. This operation yields an improved vehicle energetic efficiency and allows for uninterrupted air conditioning also when the start–stop function is activated. This paper focuses on the mechanical assembly and electromagnetic behavior of the device. Furthermore, two position-sensorless techniques are proposed to estimate the clutch state. The effectiveness of the proposed solution is experimentally validated on a dedicated test bench. Experimental tests demonstrated that the opening and closing phases required 50 and 25ms, respectively, thereby satisfying the time constraints for switching different operating modes in a vehicle (∼100ms).
