What We Achieved

Event Highlights

EV Design Compliance — Successfully presented a complete EV design compliant with FKDC specifications including dual kill switches, battery isolation and driver safety gear arrangements.
Subsystem Validation — Validated major subsystems: perimeter frame, QS 138 90H BLDC motor integration, 72 V / 80 Ah battery pack design and hydraulic rear disc brakes.
Pre-Event Validation — Completed static checks and in-team validation tests (prototype fitment, pedal-box checks and basic braking trials) prior to the event.

Engineering Excellence

Technical Highlights

Electric Powertrain

72 V BLDC powertrain integrated with motor controller, BMS and auxiliary systems for competition-ready EV performance. QS 138 90H motor delivering precise torque control.

Design Philosophy

Ergonomically designed chassis validated through FEA, with iterative optimisation incorporated during fabrication. Perimeter frame ensures structural rigidity under dynamic loads.

Subsystem Integration

Mechanical and electrical subsystems were seamlessly integrated ensuring reliability throughout the event. Dual kill-switch and brake over-travel switch met all safety regulations.
