Nanyang Venture VII

Objectives

The aim of this project is to encourage students with a keen interest in vehicles or electro-mobility to develop a deeper understanding in their respective area of expertise as well as apply engineering knowledge from their university studies into the development of the project.

This battery powered vehicle is built specifically for highly urbanised countries such as Singapore. It can accommodate four adults comfortably and still have adequate boot space for any shopping trips. The completed vehicle will serve as a test-bed for future alternative energy sources such as fuel-cells or new battery technology. The project is on schedule to produce a drivable bare-frame vehicle by September 2014.

The research project is supervised by and it is funded by the Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N). This project is into its 3rd year with Mechanical and Electrical Engineering students undertaking this project as their Final Year Project (FYP). They are involved in various areas of development such as chassis, vehicle dynamics, drive train, low and high voltage systems, energy storage systems, ergonomics and wireless power charging.
