PROPOSALS FOR PUBLIC ELECTRIC TRANSPORTATION IN MEXICO CITY CONTRIBUTION OF THE ENGINEERING INSTITUTE OF UNAM (II-UNAM) TO ELECTRIC & HYBRID VEHICLES TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPEMENT Germán Carmona Paredes October 22, 2011
PROPOSALS FOR PUBLIC ELECTRIC TRANSPORTATION IN MEXICO CITY INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND • A program to develop electric and hybrid vehicle concepts at the National University of Mexico (UNAM) started in 1993. The major effort during this period has been aimed at producing original designs of battery powered small busses and delivery vans. • The most important developments include:
VEUNAM (1996) • A 30 passenger urban transport featuring a chassis built out of composite paneling and a hydro-pneumatic regenerative brake system
VEUNAM (1996) Hydropneumaticbrakesystem
VEUNAM (1996) Composite material chassis
VEUNAM (1996) TestingtheVEUNAM
”VOLTS-WAGEN” (1997) • A VW-beettleconvertedtoelectrictractionwiththemaingoaltorealized Lead-Acidbatteriesstudies.
VER (1999) • VER(Delivery Electric Vehicle): A delivery van with separate motor-speed reducing units for each drive wheel.
ZOXY-ET2 (2000) • A delivery truck with Zinc-Air batteries
ELECTROBUS (2001) A second 30 passenger bus with a monocoque body structure made of composite material and a energy economizer power steering system in which the motor that drives the hydraulic pump operates only when the torque applied to the steering wheel exceeds a certain threshold.
ELECTROVIRA (2003) • A van capable of turning on a very small radius for an exceptional maneuverability.
HYBRID TAXI (2006) • A small vehicle with a parallel hybrid transmission (electric-ICM), developed to VEHIZERO.
ELECTROTAXI (2007) • A Nissan Tsuru converted to electric vehicle for taxi.
ECCO-VEHIZERO (2009) • Development of 25 delivery van with a series hybrid traction system.
ECCO-VEHIZERO (2009) Productionplant of 25 ECCOs
CIENCIA EN MOVIMIENTO (2009) • A concept design of a moving museum of science.
ELECTROBUS (2012) Electrobus at continuous service with Chemistry School since 2011
MiniE (2012) Evaluation project of an electric Mini Cooper of BWM
2013 Pumabus Eléctrico Electric Nissan Urvan
