Objective
To design and fabricate a single seater compact electric
towing truck which can be used for localised movements of
goods.

INTRODUCTION
The designed and fabricated an electric two
vehicle for in house movements of goods. The
vehicle has industrial importance. It is directed
towards medium and small scale industries, e.g.
duplex and craft industry, hospitals and airports
to carry loads/goods up to the range of hundred
kilograms on a gradient of twenty percent.
Methodology
PHASE 1:

Main focus on :
Motor
Controller
Batteries
Further a thorough study on available and types of motor in
terms of applicability, advantages and disadvantages keeping in
mind the vehicle.
Simultaneously, a study on the compatible control system would
be carried out which involves speed control, battery meter,
speedometer , LED display etc .
Methodology
PHASE 2:

This phase would start with the final review of design.
The fabrication of the vehicle would then commence based
on the final design.
The vehicle would be taken for testing in campus with or
without load, so as to verify its applicability.
ADVANTAGE
Fast and simple charging even after prolonged
storage.
High number of charge/discharge cycles;
provides over 1,000 charge/discharge cycles with
proper maintenance.
Good load performance; rugged and forgiving if
abused.
Long shelf life; can be stored in a discharged
state.
DISADVANTAGE
Requires protection circuit to limit voltage and
current
Limited service life.
INITIAL DESIGN
Chassis Design
A frame is the main structure of the chassis of a motor
vehicle. All other components fasten to it; a term for this
design is body-on-frame construction. The basic function
of the frame is:

i. To support the chassis components and the body.
ii. To withstand static and dynamic loads without undue
deflection or distortion.

CONCLUSION
The converted vehicle is in its optimization stages.
Our design of experiment consists of acceleration
and top speed tests with varying number of batteries.

. The range test will also be conducted varying the
number of batteries and different noises such as air
conditioning and lights
