“…The circulation of the product or its part in the economy can be maintained by reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, or recycling (4R strategies, see Figure 3). By optimising the life cycle of an EV using the CE model, the need for new raw materials and energy input can be significantly reduced [1,27,35]. The environmental impact of BEVs during the use phase greatly depends on the electricity mix of the corresponding region [36][37][38].…”

Innovative technological solutions have become increasingly critical in addressing the transportation sector’s environmental impact. Passenger vehicles present an opportunity to introduce novel drivetrain solutions that can quickly penetrate the electric vehicle market due to their shorter development time and lifetime compared to commercial vehicles. As environmental policy pressure increases and customers demand more sustainable products, shifting from a linear business approach to a circular economy model is in prospect. The new generation of economically competitive machines must be designed with a restorative intention, considering future reuse, refurbishment, remanufacture, and recycling possibilities. This review investigates the market penetration possibilities of permanent magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance machines for mini and small-segment electric vehicles, considering the urban environment and sustainability aspects of the circular economy model. When making changes to the materials used in an electric machine, it is crucial to evaluate their potential impact on efficiency while keeping the environmental impact of those materials in mind. The indirect ecological effect of the vehicle’s use phase may outweigh the reduction in manufacturing and recycling at its end-of-life. Therefore, thoroughly analysing the materials used in the design process is necessary to ensure maximum efficiency while minimising the environmental impact.

So far, Permanent Magnet (PM) clutches have been broadly used as torque transmission devices. With the aim of effective utilization of materials and energy in the manufacturing of PM clutches, design optimization has been widely applied. Generally, PM clutches are optimized applying linear dimensions as optimization parameters. On the contrary, optimization of PM clutch shapes has not been done extensively. Therefore, this paper performs optimization of PM clutch shapes with the following objectives: maximum tangential attraction force and minimum volume of utilized materials. To form optimal shapes, the points on the clutch surface are chosen as optimization parameters. The optimization is carried out using Ārtap framework in connection with COMSOL software, where the 3D model of the clutch has been created. After the optimization, the tangential attraction force has increased by 13 % and the volume of the clutch has been reduced by 24 %. Although the obtained shapes appear to be highly intricate, it does not pose an obstacle for modern manufacturing techniques.
