In the rapidly evolving electric vehicle industry, the study of electromechanical systems in next-generation electric powertrains is of particular relevance. This is driven by the need to enhance energy efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the reliability of vehicles. The article examines the role of innovative materials, advanced design methods, and control algorithms in creating high-efficiency and reliable electric powertrains. Specifically, the impact of nanomaterials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes on reducing motor weight and increasing heat dissipation is analyzed, contributing to improved efficiency and extended driving range. The adoption of additive manufacturing (3D printing) and digital twins accelerates prototyping and component optimization in electric powertrains. Adaptive control algorithms ensure optimal system performance in real-time, enhancing overall efficiency and reliability. Research methods included the analysis of modern materials and technologies, prototyping using additive manufacturing, and the implementation of predictive and adaptive control algorithms. The results demonstrate significant improvements in the performance of electric powertrains due to the use of innovative materials and cutting-edge design technologies. Conclusions confirm that the application of advanced materials and adaptive control algorithms is critical for ensuring the sustainable development of the electric vehicle industry. Future research prospects focus on further refining materials and technologies to enhance scalability and reduce production costs, making electric powertrains more accessible and efficient.
