Development of Petro-Electric Vehicle

The exhaust of fossil fuels has made to think on alternative energy utilization like electrical energy. The automobile sector is one where one can replace the requirement of fossil fuels by electrical energy. Almost all researchers and developers are looking for design of new electric bike, without making an attempt to make modification in existing gasoline vehicle. The increase in price of petrol which cannot be offered by many of Indians particularly the farmers. The majority of farmers use TVS XL moped scooter for their day today work. In this paper an attempt is made to modify the existing TVS XL moped gasoline scooter by replacing the internal combustion engine with an electric motor. In this vehicle, the electric motor will supply the power to drive shaft through chain drive. The design and implementation of power transmission through chain drive when compared to hub mounted electric motor is more economical. The main reason for converting gasoline engine into electric drive reduces the financial burden on farmers, reduces the pollution and saves the material wastage (scarp).
