Abstract-In today's World, energy has a crucial importance for all countries. The countries search for both new energy resources and how they can use them. Energy resource is an important problem in our country, too. It is the sign of how it is important that we are mostly foreign dependent on energy. The most important energy problem is energy efficiency. When changing and developing automotive industry is handled, an important part of energy consumption consists of automobiles. So, it is clear that even small scale efficiency studies can save energy when thought in general basis (all automobiles). Practical solutions about efficiency increase in present vehicles, electrical efficiency and structure of vehicles working with energy taken from the sun is analyzed in our study.

“…These circuitries are controlled centrally by a microcontroller unit. This makes the system redundant and fault tolerant as the MPPT circuitries [4] are independent of each other making it possible to generate power even if any module fails. Solar charge controller monitors and regulates the output voltage to batteries as these require a specific charging method with various voltage and current levels for each specific stage.…”

This paper presents the Electric Power System design and development of an electric solar vehicle. The power system extracts energy from solar panels through solar charge controllers with embedded MPPT while controlling the charge of battery. The BLDC motor is connected to the battery bus via power board containing the 6 N-channel MOSFETs whose operations are controlled by the central control unit which takes signal from manual input from driver. The project design proposed shows the general design architecture followed by specific approach which includes the work of Eco-kart team of MANIT and SEV team of different universities [16]. This project design can be implemented to obtain the maximum performance output, which means efficient transmission of the available energy, the central control unit and power generation system are designed accordingly focusing on the fault tolerance mechanism.

“…In contrast to many ICV races, the goal of most of the EV races is not to be the fastest but to minimize the energy consumption of the vehicles, that is, the winner is the most energy efficient vehicle. Nowadays, such races take place on the five continents and so involve worldwide universities, research centers and enterprises [1][2][3][4][5]. For the engineering schools, there are a big number of topics which have technological development and/or research aspects which can make the design and manufacturing of an Electric Race Vehicle (ERV) to be of great interest for professors and students [6].…”

This paper describes a project based learning program carried out in the E.T.S.I.I. of the University of Malaga, Spain, whose main objective is the organization of a team for the development of experimental electric racing vehicles and their evaluation in competitive races. It is shown the work done during the first two years of the project, highlighting the most important aspects of the experience: the training focused on senior students (capstone courses), the training focused on freshmen (cornerstone courses) and the university-industry collaboration for the manufacture of the prototypes and equipment designed.
