The target torque and speed (TN) curve is defined as three operation zones-constant torque, maximum direct current, and maximum voltage-based on the driving scenario. The AFPM motor is designed to minimize energy consumption based on the motor weight and the frequent operating points of a driving cycle. The final result shows that the electric vehicle driven by the proposed AFPM motor consumes about 15% less energy than motors designed using traditional methods. © 2016 by the authors.Axial-flux permanent-magnet (AFPM)motor; Driving scenario; Electric vehicle; Optimization[SDGs]SDG7Electric vehicles; Energy utilization; Optimal systems; Optimization; Permanent magnets; Axial flux permanent magnet; Axial flux permanent magnet motor; Constant torque; Direct current; Driving cycle; Driving scenarios; Operating points; Optimal design; Traction motorsjournal article10.3390/en90402852-s2.0-84964489859https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84964489859&doi=10.3390%2fen9040285&partnerID=40&md5=2aa7f1c08d6a5a9f94cf89d5c1ab3b3e
