Abstract

Electric vehicle is widely used all over the world nowadays. It became a necessity in the present. Each time the energy crisis hit, especially the rise in oil prices, consumers‟ concern focused on fuel costs of vehicles. So, at this time, the developments in technology should be looked as a way to help this crisis. The increasing usage of oil and the increase in prices has seen the development of electric vehicle technology. These electric vehicles do not use oil as a primary fuel instead use the power of electricity. Therefore, it is a vehicle with zero emission. On top of these reasons, UTeM take the initiative to produce the first personal electric vehicles for daily use called UTeM-PEV. The main purpose of this project is to produce a personal electric vehicle for UTeM. In addition, this project is also to develop an optimized of propulsion system of PEV. This electric vehicle use electric bicycle motor as its main component to drive the wheels. In addition, batteries, controllers and throttle are also used to provide the energy and to control the energy flow to the motor. Through the literature review, this report introducing the electric vehicle and the major component of the systems. The methodology of this project is divided into three parts; design consideration, development of vehicle model and analysis. The results from the mathematical modelling been done to determine the performance of the PEV. The approach therefore can be used as a predictive tool to study the efficiency movement of the PEV using MATLAB software.
