Energy Efficient Vehicle (Air - X)

Introduction

Air - X is the prototype electric car designed for participation in Shell Eco-Marathon Asia 2011. We designed the vehicle using Computer Aided Design packages (AutoCAD, Pro-Engineer and ANSYS). Several test cases were used to check the feasibility of the vehicle. This also enabled to design the vehicle using minimum material, to reduce weight, without compromising the reliability and safety. Shape and design are chosen so as to minimize the air drag and friction.

Design objectives were:

Prototype Electric Car

Maximum Mileage

Light Weight

Safe and Reliable

Cost Efficient

The car was fabricated with Aluminium as the material for chassis and fiber glass was used for canopy. Air - X successfully participated in Shell Eco-Marathon Asia 2011, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Result of Shell Eco-Marathon Asia

• Air - X successfully cleared all inspections and tests

• Air - X got the mileage of 81 km / kwh

• Air - X got 8th position in category of Prototype Plug-In

Progress

The project has been completed.
