Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature
Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for
future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive
positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world.
Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly
interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the
most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.

One important task of electrification of vehicle powertrain is the functional integration of all new systems in respect of the performance, comfort and emission restrictions. In this particular case, starting from a mass produced vehicle platform in the small vehicle segment, the requirement was to keep the originally installed powertrain largely unchanged, but on the other hand enabling hybrid operating functions such as boosting and recuperating and additionally providing some torque vectoring features, under all relevant driving situations. The paper describes and explains the possibilities and limitations of an electrically supported four wheel drive system: first in simulation by use of a mathematical model and then, the experiences gained in the actual development of a prototype car, will be reported. A special focus will be put on the methodology of the development of a model based hybrid controller.
