Conceptualization, design and modeling of hybrid golf car

An electric vehicle is pollution free and is efficient at low speed conditions mainly in high traffic areas. This project is mainly focused on an idea about hybrid solar golf cart technology which solves the major problem of fuel and pollution in present days. A 'hybrid golf car' is a vehicle which depends not only on electricity to recharge the batteries but also on a solar panel which would provide the necessary current to charge the batteries. The average weight of the car would be about 200 kg approx. and it would carry the load of 450 kg with a maximum speed of 25 km/h. A parametric model of chassis of Hybrid Golf Car is modeled using CATIA V5R20 software. Investigate the stress by analyzing the steel (AISI 1016) connecting rod and find out the maximum stresses generated and optimize the weight.
