Due to the high mass and required volume for a high capacity battery, Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) with their large dimensions and high dead load of structure currently appear to a suitable vehicle concept for electrification. Mounting the battery under the bottom of chassis leads to larger moments of inertia and lower center of gravity, whose influence on dynamic rollover behavior has not been investigated sufficiently. In addition, the influence of tire characteristics on nonlinear driving dynamic behavior i.e. rollover performance has been studied only partially.
