Abstract
This paper presents a design study for electrification of a Utility Task Vehicle (UTV). It starts with the state-of-the-art and motivations for UTV. Then, it presents a design model for the vehicle electrification, based on the dynamic model of the power-train. Many implementation solutions are discussed. Based on this model, a practical selection is done, concerning the necessary equipment: motor, controller, transmission, battery, and charger. Conclusions present a short analysis of this design.
