Abstract: To give full play to the energy saving advantage of the multi-drive mode of an electric vehicle equipped with dual-motor coupling-propulsion powertrain (DMCP-EV), a driving mode control strategy based on optimal system efficiency is worked out. According to the configuration of DMCP, four driving modes are defined and their dynamic driving models and system efficiency model are established respectively. On the premise of meeting the requirements of power performance, the operation ranges of four driving modes are analyzed and divided. With the system efficiency as optimization objective, an optimization is conducted by using particle swarm optimization algorithm, and an optimal strategy for driving mode switching and torque distribution is obtained. Finally, a validation is performed by both Matlab/Simulink simulation and hardware-in-the-loop experiment. The results show that the driving mode with system efficiency optimized can effectively enhance the energy economy of DMCP-EV, with its energy consumption reducing by 11% while meeting the requirements of power performance
