Abstract

Egypt is entering the 21th century with a new administrative capital MASA capital. The new capital should provide a pollution free environment for its inhabitants. This is to ensure that the new capital adheres to the latest sustainable development goals set by the United Nations. Therefore, the transportation system must include the state of the art design technologies to minimize vehicle weight while producing minimum to zero emissions. Moreover, the vehicle should comply with the road and crashworthiness safety standards. This poses a challenging design task, as these are conflicting objectives. Electric vehicles provide such an optimal solution for this conflict. In this paper, we present the design of a concept car for one person commuting inside the new capital. We succeeded in obtaining the primarily design of a lightweight electric vehicle that uses solar panels to recharge its batteries. It is capable of making 60Km daily at average speed of 50Km/h without recharging.
