In this paper, an axial flux motor is designed for an electrical powertrain vehicle. The sizing is based on the losses during a driving cycle. A 2D equivalent model is proposed for the axial flux motor. The main features of the optimized motor are given and finally verification is carried out using a 3D finite element calculation code.
