UI-based electric car vehicle launched at the moment of FTUI birthday celebration to-52 on Monday (8/7/2017) in the garden area of the building, the campus FTUI CCIT UI Depok.
There are 4 electric car displayed at the event, namely Bus Electric Vehicle (EV), Makara Electric Vehicle (MEV) 01, City Car 02 MEV and MEV City Car 03. Electric cars this was the innovation works of professors and students who are members of Team FTUI Molina UI.
EV Bus is a vehicle capacity of 60 passengers with motor power 120 kW and 300 Ah and diesel-fueled. The next bus is expected to gradually replace the overall function of the yellow bus as internal transport tool UI campus UI. The next vehicle displayed is Makara Electric Vehicle (MEV) 01 which is a city car that uses artificial electric motor Team Molina UI in the form of Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor with a capacity of 25 kW.
Other types of city car shown is a design and 23 MEV its specifications to resemble commercial vehicles and use the AC Induction motor with power 7.5 kW and 102 battery capacity Ah.
City car is a type of car 03 MEV other specifications to resemble commercial vehicles with hybrid system using AC induction motors with power 32 kW and 102 battery capacity Ah. By using a hybrid system, expected to reach the mileage of the vehicle can be further. In addition to designing electric vehicles, the team also created the system UI Molina thermal cooling for the cabin and battery as well as the fluid system in the form of synthetic jet applications to repair the vehicle’s aerodynamics.
Currently, the team is also developing UI Molina Station Charging electric vehicles by using the energy from the solar cells and PLN will function like a gas station for electric cars. In addition, the team is also putting together a UI review Molina aspects economic, legal and social culture toward technology electric vehicles to know the reaction of the public toward the acceptance of electric vehicles and the planning of social engineering to do.
FTUI Dean Prof. Dr. IR. Earn Priadi, DEA in this launch deliver, “FTUI has put forward a vision for innovation and research. Expected in the future, this technology can be applied to conventional oil-fuelled cars and stimulate other research that can be absorbed by industry.”
