The continuous innovation on the electric vehicle area has led to the use of multi-motor powertrain topologies. These powertrains imply new degrees of freedom and better controllability, thus enabling elaborate control solutions for enhanced vehicle dynamics. This allows not only to achieve better vehicle stability, but also greater performance and responsiveness, leading to safer and more satisfying vehicle handling. This work presents a Fuzzy Torque Vectoring Controller for a rear-wheel drive
