PACE Meeting Summer 09
Emerging Market “Electric” Vehicle (EMEV)
University of Puerto Rico – Mayaguez (UPRM)
Our Specifications
• Powerplant: Electric In-Wheel Motor
• Specifications: Same as IC enginebased EMV. After interpreting
specifications provided by PACE, motor
requirements are:
Axial Flux Permanent
Magnet In Wheel Motor
• Required Torque: 81 N-m
• Maximum Angular Velocity: 1474 rpm
• Proposed Max Angular Acc: 0-40 mph
in 10 s.
• Required Power: 20 KW per motor

Parametric Analysis
Inputs:
• Rotor and Stator- A-27 Steel because of low density and high max
magnetic flux density
• Windings - Copper Gauge AWG16-20
• Magnets- Alnico due to high flux density and operating temperatures
Outputs:
• Motor diameter: 10 inches
• Number of phase: 3
• Turns: 54 turns
• Required Current: 38 A
• Torque Produced: 105 N-m (81 required)
• Rated Back EMF: To be determined

Integrated Version
Steering and Braking Issues
There were no geometrical issues with the integration
of the motor to the steering system.
The brakes and caliper
mount were redesign for the
in-wheel electric motor,
because the space was
limited.

Future Work
• Consider iterating dimensions to
increase performance
• Optimize components to reduce
assembly time and cost
• Validate the numerical results with
experiments

We will like to acknowledge Universidade de São Paulo direction and
other PACE universities for their help during the design process of the
EMEV. We also like to acknowledge UPRM, PACE members, and
administration for all the project support during the last year.
