  • Abstract:
  • In developing nations like India, where technological advancements drive economic growth, the logistics of goods transportation faces persistent challenges. Conventional cargo cycles, though cost-effective, demand substantial human effort and have limited load-carrying capacity, particularly on inclined terrains. E-cargo vehicles, as a sustainable alternative, promise to address these gaps but are constrained by limitations in range, power, and cost-efficiency. Siemens NX was employed to develop a detailed model, while Finite Element Analysis was utilized to establish a virtual testing environment for comprehensive design evaluation. These advanced tools provided critical insights into necessary modifications and optimizations during the initial design phase of the cargo cycle, ensuring quality enhancements and superior design performance. AISI 1020 material was used to manufacture a cargo chassis frame with a minimum safety factor of 1.58 at the rear wheel bearing housing. This paper presents the development of an innovative E-cargo vehicle that incorporates a regenerative drive system to enhance energy efficiency and operational range. Additionally, a chainless drive mechanism is introduced to minimize torque demand and reduce rider effort, ensuring a smoother and more effortless driving experience, especially on uneven or sloped surfaces. The study also investigates various critical factors in designing and manufacturing E-vehicles, including vehicle ergonomics, rider comfort, energy efficiency, manufacturing feasibility, and structural safety checked by using numerical structural analysis in Ansys. Special emphasis is placed on designing a robust yet lightweight frame structure to optimize safety and performance. The software tool used for 3-D CAD simulation is Siemens NX. By addressing these multifaceted challenges, this research contributes to the evolution of cost-effective, sustainable, and user-friendly solutions for cargo transportation, aligning with the global transition towards green technology and efficient logistics systems.
