1. The status and vehicle development trend.
1.1.Status.
Nowadays, most of vehicles use internal combustion engine and fossil fuel.
They exhaust a lot of emissions into environment such as CO, NOx …

1.2. Vehicle development trend.
The trend of development is using electric motor instead of internal combustion engine.

2. Missions of project
2.1. Calculating and choosing prime mover
Defining user’s scenario:
• Flexibility moving in the city.
• High performance in suburban.
Design requirements:
• Maximum velocity > 60km/h.
• 0 to 50km/h acceleration under 7s.
• Good hill climbing ability.
2.1. Calculating and choosing prime mover
Based on User’s scenario and Design
requirements, the prime mover
parameters will be calculated and an
available electric motor will be
chosen

2.2.Designing powertrain.
When a prime mover is chosen, the type of powertrain will be considered.
Transmission type
Belt
Chain drive
Hub motor

3.1. Developing initial specifications
Available parameters.
-
Curb weight of the vehicle is 100 kg.
The weight of vehicle with rider is 165 kg.
The weight of vehicle with rider and passenger is 230 kg.
Normal tire force at front is 44% total weight
- Normal tire force at rear is

3.1. Developing initial specifications
Determining vehicle center of gravity
- The wheel base of the vehicle: p=1348.18 (mm) .
- The high of the center of gravity: h (mm) .
- The horizontal distance between the center and the
rear wheel axle: b (mm) .
b=
- We have:
, then we choose h=0.4p
h= 0.4p = 0.4* 1348.18= 539.27 (mm)
- Coordinate of the vehicle with 165kg ( 503.3 ; 689.2).
- Coordinate of the vehicle with 230kg ( 463.6 ; 754.4).

3.2.
Calculating prime mover parameters and gear ratio
Calculating power demanded.
Based on vehicle power equilibrium equation:
+ : Tractive power at drive wheel(W)
+ : Power of rolling resistance (W).
+ : Power of slope resistance(W).
+ : Power of aerodynamic resistance (W).
+ : Power of inertia resistance(W).
we have transformed the equation and put
in matlab to calculate the required power
within time domain

3.2. Calculating prime mover parameters and gear ratio
Velocity (km/h)
Calculating power demanded
Power (W)
Because of the low efficiency of the motor at low speed range, so the required
power of the motor is multiplied by factor “1.5” P= 2885*1.5= 4327.5 (W).

(BLDC motor) type is
chosen.
