Abstract
The topic of this article is the aßeßment of the safety of an electric driven vehicle with four-wheel-drive regarding its dynamic stability. Evaluated at the FES GmbH in Zwickau (Germany) is the vehicle’s overall-dynamic behaviour in cornering, when either one of these motors fail. The results show that the vehicle reacts quite stable to the investigated failures except for situations in which the friction coefficient is very small or the lateral acceleration is very high.
