Worldwide Environmental concerns have placed pressure on the development of low and zero emission vehicles. Legislations in different countries are bringing ever more stringent requirements on new vehicles. At the current time the zero emission requirements can only be met by batteries, with fuel cell technology still in development. The problem with the batteries is their low power density compared to fossil fuels. For this reason, the hybrid electric vehicle concepts have grown to meet the low and the ultra low emission requirements.

The Hybrid systems are designed either on parallel or on series systems. Our system is a series system.A specially designed High speed AC induction motor is used in the system. The motor is light in weight, compact in design, has high speed and torque and functions at 100 Hz. The frame size of 160 mm gives a continuous torque of 89 KW and a peak torque of 118 KW. The motor runs at a maximum speed of 10000 RPM and a minimum base speed of 3000 RPM. The stator and the rotors are such designed that the motor is a liquid cool motor. Such design gives excellent results and offers the distinctive feature in the system.

Another unique concept is of the compressor designed for the Hybrid system. Normally, the braking of the vehicle works on pneumatic power. All compressors are connected to the camshaft of the engine and never goes beyond 1500 RPM so all the currently used compressors have 1500 RPM and are bulky and big in size. The compressor designed by us has 3000 RPM and the size to fit it is as compact as an Airconditioner fit into a car.

Buddy A Senior Citizen electric vehicle designed and developed by us:
The concept of"Buddy"car - a single seater senior citizen vehicle was designed to offer mobility and independent commute to the elderly or disabled where the vehicle can be used for short distances around the city. Being a four wheeler, the concept of a car driving is held in the mindsets, eliminating the feel of being senior or specially challenged. This car was a prototype made in the Y2K times.
As we all know Electric vehicles are gaining attention as an option for improving air quality and lessen the dependency on imported oil. While todays technology is considered to be emerging as new, battery powered vehicles have been around since a long time. EVs were in the market even before the gasoline automobiles and records show that some 50000 EVs were used in the US sometime during 1912.
EVs are ZERO EMMISSION VEHICLES because they produce no pollution from the tailpipe or through fuel evaporation. This means that EVs can greatly reduce emission of carbon monoxide and smog forming pollutants in the cities with dirty air.
Promoting EVs will be a considerable movement towards offering clean air and control the global warming hazard over the human life.

Advantages of BUDDY:

Buddy is a single seater electric vehicle with space for little luggage or another companion to squeeze in if need be!Total maneuverability for a senior citizen.
Designed as a four wheeler, it gives the feeling of a car; while overcoming the challenges of driving a big car in congested and traffic full areasIt is easy to take anywhere in the city as it is small in size.
It is easy to drive on the roads as it mingles with the other traffic like the scooters and auto rickshaws on the street. Though the speed is limited to 25-30 kmph; the city traffic does not allow any vehicles to cross this speed limit anyway.
It is easy to park.It is easy to plug it at night or in free hours in any outlets for charging the batteries.Open for a clear view no doors; however safe as not just a two wheeled scooter!Good Road clearance.Very competitive in Cost!

All in all: It is a great companion!

Other uses:Pick up and drop offs for school childrenGrocery shoppingDriving in congested areas made easyDriving inside big factories or grounds also made easy.Inside airports for one passengerGood for amusement parksGood for childrens ride
