CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Final year students from the Automobile Engineering and Electrical and Electronics departments at UIT-RGPV have built an off-road four-seater e-vehicle. The students, under the guidance of their department heads and faculty, completed the construction of all necessary sub-systems of the e-vehicle, such as chassis design, electric drivetrain, steering and suspension systems, battery management system, and wiring harness.
Prof. Sudhir Singh Bhadauria, Director of UIT RGPV, stated that this e-vehicle would be used to travel from the university’s main gate to various departments and buildings within the campus.
