Sažetak
Based on the accumulated experience in the development and production of electric machines achieving successful export in targeting foreign markets, the producer has reached a decision that truly own-developed high-tech technology based on innovations is to be further utilized for a commercial program of passenger automobiles. A prototype of an urban electric vehicle has been made and high performance and vehicle functionality have been tested. This stage being completed, the company’s intellectual capital has been synergised into a new product. The development of an electric city car is a step towards future architecture of modern urban transportation. It is a mono-space car with two doors, three seats, designed for urban transport featuring easy vehicle entrance and exit as well as parking. The true essence of this green urban vehicle is to simplify and enhance the mobility of drivers in urban conditions as well as to ensure active and passive vehicle safety. In the upcoming decade, electric automobiles are going to contribute to the quality of living and urban transportation. The energy development strategy of the Republic of Croatia has in view to support projects of green transportation as well as the purchase of more energy-efficient vehicles. The purpose of this paper is to present a home-based project of an electric automobile in its full originality. The development focus is set on an own and original vehicle design and its attractiveness providing “environmental advantage” on the global market. The management of the most complex systems of vehicle control and the entire product provides development and production of a new generation of transport means in the Republic of Croatia.
