Abstract
The use of electric vehicles is increasing in a complex scenario where it is necessary to reduce the pollutant emissions without increasing the production costs. Around the world, there are many automotive companies and universities developing and creating systems and different concepts for electric vehicles. In the present study, a small-scale prototype of a modular electric vehicle was designed focusing on mechanical development. Also, it has the aiming to help understand the dynamic behavior and to facilitate the control application. The prototype's traction is made by electric motor connect in each wheel where the wheelbase and track also can be varied. As results, a compact geometry was designed, the 3D modeling was done and the electrical and mechanical components were dimensioned. It can be concluded that this paper is an important contribution regarding mobility with different ideas about electric vehicles.
