For sustainability reasons it is important to reduce energyconsumption during driving. One contributionto energysavings is by AQ1using proper wheel torque distributions during manoeuvring. An activeenergy-efficient direct yaw moment control (DYC) for electric vehicleshas previously been proposed by the authors, taking the motor efficiencymap into consideration. The results show a potential for reduced energylosses during driving, but it might result in stabilityproblems duringsafety-critical maneuvres. In this work, consequences on stability dueto this proposed energy efficient DYC is explored. Also an approachcombining DYC both energy-efficiency and stability is proposed. Thesimulation results show that for the studied case the combination ofDYC for energy-efficiency and stability can have an potential to bothkeep the vehicle safe and save considerable percentage of energy duringboth non safety-critical and safety-critical driving manoeuvres.
