Design of Six Seater Electrical Vehicle (Golf Cart)

Abstract

In this paper, six-seater Golf Cart has been designed and developed in The IFTM university at 28.81°N, 78.64°E. All components of the Golf cart like the frame of the vehicle, transmission system, brakes, batteries, motor, tyres, and motor controller have been designed and fabricated. The Golf Cart can sustain a maximum load of 15 KN on the bumpy and terrain road at a maximum speed of 48 Km/hr. The batteries of the Golf Cart are placed below the seats to minimize the car space and over-turning moments on terrain roads. The modeling of various components of the Golf cart has been done in CATEA software. The maximum torque obtained at the 800, 1360 and 1500 RPM are the 2.1 Nm in 0.35 s. The six-seater Golf Cart works very efficiently and smoothly on the smooth, bumpy, and terrain road. It is very efficient to take the load of six passengers in a rural area. It did not produce noise and air pollution due to use of DC motor.
