This project aims to design and develop an electric tuk-tuk by converting traditional combustion engines to electric systems, supporting reduced air pollution and sustainable automotive technology. It utilizes a BLDC motor and a control system adapted for Thai three-wheelers.
This project aims to design and develop an electric tuk-tuk by converting the traditional combustion engine system to an electric system, supporting the reduction of air pollution and promoting sustainable automotive technology. The electric tuk-tuk is designed using a BLDC electric motor and a control system specifically adapted for the unique driving style of three-wheeled vehicles in Thailand. The study considers suitable energy systems and includes interviews with traditional tuk-tuk drivers to ensure the vehicle meets everyday usability needs. The findings suggest that adopting electric tuk-tuks not only reduces emissions and PM2.5 particulate matter but also enhances an eco-friendly image for Thailand’s tourism sector while supporting domestic innovation and economic growth.
Objective
The objectives include studying the structure and electrical systems of electric tuk-tuks, optimizing design for drivers, exploring new automotive technologies for future development, and analyzing the cultural and economic aspects of using electric tuk-tuks for professional transport.
Project Objectives:
- To study the structure and various systems, including all electrical systems, of the electric tuk-tuk.
- To design and develop the electric system of the tuk-tuk to be suitable, considering the usage needs of traditional tuk-tuk drivers transitioning to electric vehicles.
- To study new automotive technologies that can be applied to electric tuk-tuks for future vehicle development.
- To study the cultural and economic aspects of using electric tuk-tuks for professional purposes.
