Abstract

The work deals with the design and development of an Electric Drive-Line for an Electric vehicle that aims to achieve less emission than conventional gasoline powered vehicles. This work has been developed with two concepts. One is to develop an electric drive-line for a given vehicle with less emission compared to fuel driven vehicles and the other one is to re-design the above vehicle for a specific purpose and run it with a low effect towards pollution. Through calculations, a motor is selected to run a 500 kg vehicle. To match the motors configuration a vehicle is selected is re-designed to suit the motor and for the particular application. An electronic controller is used to control the speed of the vehicle and direction of the motor (forward and reverse).An existing vehicle is taken for this work. The gasoline engine is to be replaced by an electric motor which obtains power from a controller and controls its speed. The controller gets its power from an array of rechargeable batteries.
