Due to the toxic emissions train diesel
and petrol vehicles, the air pollution in our cities
has reached alarming levels, The increasing vehicle
population is also consuming our scarce oil serves,
To overcome these difficulties, BHEL Jve developed ELECTRAVAN
- A SMOKELESS, NOISELESS, OIL FREE BAT POWERED VEHICLE.
This employs no IC engine & no oil to operate. Instead
it is run by an electric motor, powered by a pack of rechargeable
tract ion batteries positioned in the vehicle Itself,
The power transmission takes place through though conventional
gear box and differential. Gear box and differential.
The speed is controlled by an Electronic Chopper Controller
and gear changing. In all other respect such as steeering
braking, gear box and clutch arrangements etc. Electravans
ate similar to conventional diesel or petrol vehicles.
Therefore they need no extra training to drive.
Optional battery withdrawal arrangement is provided with
facilities for removal of discharged batteries and fitting
of charged ones within few minutes at the battery charging
stations.
In view of the obvi6us advantages of Electravans, Ministry
of Non-conventional Energy Sources, Government of India,
gives a cash subsidy to the buyers. Electravan usage is
being increasingly favoured to fight the menace of air
pollution in urban areas, industries & institutions.
Advantages
Freedom from highly discomforting
noise & vibrations so common in diesel vehicles.
Recurring savings of petrol or
diesel.
Ideal vehicle to keep environment
clean.
Ideally suited as public transport
in congested areas, hospitals, factories, wild life
sanctuaries, airport, schools & places of historic
Importance.
No engine related maintenance expenses
& much lesser maintenance OPI chassis pails due
to absence of vibrations.
