The Simulink models show how to represent vehicle dynamics and specific components using a power loss approach.
* A glider model shows how to model vehicle dynamics to obtain high level information about tractive force requirements for a given weight and drive cycle.
* A battery electric vehicle (BEV) model shows how to use a power loss approach to represent individual components, such as the electric motor.
* A combustion engine vehicle model is also included for additional reference.

The Powertrain Blockset models show how single blocks can represent component operation, e.g: battery, motor, engine, transmission, differential, etc. These models include a glider, a BEV, and a combustion engine vehicle.
