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.

This study presents the development of carbon-based multiphase metal oxide nanocomposites (CNF@MOx; M = Ag, Mn, Bi, Fe) incorporating silver, manganese, bismuth, and iron nanoparticles within polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-derived carbon nanofibers. These nanocomposites were fabricated via the electrospinning technique followed by annealing in an argon atmosphere. The resulting nanofibers exhibited a uniform structure, with diameters ranging from 559 to 830 nm and embedded nanoparticles of 9-21 nm. Structural characterization confirmed the presence of various oxidation states of metal oxides, which play a crucial role in charge storage mechanisms. Electrochemical performance testing demonstrated that CNF@Ag/Mn/Bi/Fe-20 achieved the highest specific capacitance of 156 F g⁻¹ at a scan rate of 2 mV s⁻¹ and exhibited excellent cycling stability, retaining over 96% of its capacitance after 1400 charge-discharge cycles. The synergistic combination of electric double-layer capacitance and redox-based charge storage enhances the performance of these nanofibers as promising electrode materials for supercapacitor applications.

This research aims to study the waste management process of horse manure, the production process of organic fertilizer from horse waste, and opinions on the use of innovative organic fertilizer from horse manure. A mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative research, is employed. The organic fertilizer is produced from horse manure, which is a waste that incurs disposal costs. Through the fermentation process, it is transformed into an environmentally friendly fertilizer containing essential nutrients beneficial to plants. According to the laboratory analysis of the organic fertilizer conducted by the Soil Science Laboratory, Faculty of Agricultural Technology, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, it was found that organic fertilizer from horse manure contains essential nutrients for plant growth, including macronutrients, secondary nutrients, and micronutrients. This reflects the potential of horse waste management, the production process of organic fertilizer from horse manure, the efficiency of the organic fertilizer, and strategies for adding value to expand its commercialization.
