Guest Editorial: High Sustainable Electric Drives for Transportation Electrification

Abstract

Given that nearly 23% of global CO2 emissions is blamed on the transport sector, its electrification becomes crucial for reaching the 2050 Net Zero Emissions scenario. The key enabler to this purpose is a sustainable design and development of electric power train systems, aiming at cutting the overall greenhouse gases emissions during each of the different life-cycle stages of the design, including procurement, manufacturing, use, and recycle or reuse.

This introduces new challenges in the design of batteries, power converters, and electric motors, which must now prioritize environmental sustainability without compromising key performance metrics, such as power density, efficiency, cost, and reliability.
