Abstract
When it comes to vehicles, one thing is sure that the future is electric. Three wheeled auto
rickshaws are most popular mode of transport in India and most of the Asian countries. They
play a crucial role in the Indian automotive industry. They are compact and narrow, allowing
mobility on congested roads. In past we have seen the dominance of ic engine based cng auto
rickshaw in automobile sector. Even though having discernible superiority in vehicle
structure, auto rickshaws possesses an awful pollution problem due to use of conventional
fuel supply to run the engine. And the increasing demand, increase in fuel prices, dependency
on conventional source of energy, low efficiency, regular maintenances, has given a rise to
battery-motor conveyance i.e. E-rickshaw.
We are focusing on making the cheapest mode of public transportation for few kilometers
conventional fuel free. So the objective behind the project is to utilize the scrap/elapsed cng
based auto-rickshaw, which major source of the air pollution and convert it to battery and
motor driven e-rickshaw.
The electric vehicle has already gained so much popularity in market, and the upcoming
regulations (electric mobility vision 2030) as governments of India has a vision of complete
electric mobility by the year 2030. Considering the current and future scenario we have come
up with a complete modification of cng operated auto rickshaw by replacing the engine and
fuel cylinder with BLDC motor for vehicle propulsion, powered by the lithium-ion batteries.
These kind of vehicles will prove to be environment friendly and have the potential to reduce
the pollution significantly due to passenger transport activities. The running cost of battery
powered auto rickshaw is less than the fuel based 3 wheelers and will improve the socioeconomic
condition.
