At Eindhoven University of Technology a multidisciplinary team of chemical, electrical and mechanical engineers are collaborating on construction of an electric commuter car/van. A VW-Golf which concept appears to be very suitable for this purpose, has been electrified. Car-body and rear suspensions were modified thus that a rapidly exchangeable battery pack could be placed in a central box. Various ways of controlling the powerflow from the 16/33 kW Siemens dc-motor to the wheels will be tested in this vehicle. Three systems, which are under construction, are described: - battery switching, field weakening and a fixed ratio transmission - battery switching, field weakening and automatic gear-shifting - fully electronic control by means of choppers.
