The topic proposed for the IEEE VTS Motor Vehicle Challenge 2026 (MVC 2026) consists of two tasks. Firstly, the participants are required to design a powertrain for a dual-motor refrigerated lorry, which is able to transport 10 tons of frozen food. The lorry must be equipped with a refrigeration system that can maintain the temperature of the cargo at -18 degrees C. The second task consists of developing the lorry's energy management strategy. The motor and battery pack must be selected to maximize efficiency and reduce the time to complete the task. The battery pack can be charged in three different ways: wireless charging, plug-in charging, and regenerative braking. The MVC 2026 participants should also consider the impact of the lorry's weight as well as road slope, traffic, and wind on its performance and energy consumption.

Abstract
The topic proposed for the IEEE VTS Motor Vehicle Challenge 2026 (MVC 2026) consists of two tasks. Firstly, the participants are required to design a powertrain for a dual-motor refrigerated lorry, which is able to transport 10 tons of frozen food. The lorry must be equipped with a refrigeration system that can maintain the temperature of the cargo at -18 degrees C. The second task consists of developing the lorry's energy management strategy. The motor and battery pack must be selected to maximize efficiency and reduce the time to complete the task. The battery pack can be charged in three different ways: wireless charging, plug-in charging, and regenerative braking. The MVC 2026 participants should also consider the impact of the lorry's weight as well as road slope, traffic, and wind on its performance and energy consumption.
