Battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) require new chassis components, which are realized as mechatronic systems mainly and support more and more by-wire functionality. Besides better controllability, it eases the integration of innovative and integrated control strategies to combine different domains of vehicle dynamics. Especially powertrain layouts based on electric in-wheel machines (IWMs) require such an integrated approach to unfold their full potential. A corresponding BEV configuration is being considered in the paper. The vehicle prototype is based in a 2018 AUDI e-tron, which was equipped with new mechatronic chassis actuators in the framework of the EVC1000 project (https://evc1000.eu).
