Abstract

The world’s new energy trend is toward the renewable and environmentally harmless
energy. The race we tend to participate in based on the ultra-efficient cars. This race has
many participants from many universities in the world. Participating in this race will help
to make the university’s reputation better and will help to enhance the technologies of the
ultra-efficient energy cars, due to the nature of the race that is based on the competition
between the universities, by making more researches done by the universities and the
sponsor companies.
Alternatives for this project were generated as the following. First option will have similar
to car that had been designed in King Abdul-Aziz University. Second alternative flat
chassis. Third alternative new created shape. Each option is explained in details. After
completion of the chose process between alternatives using KTDA table, the first option is
the recommended option.
Analysis are done for chosen option.
The design steps of the frame will be discussed in detail A frame was found in the senior
project workshop that has similar dimensions to the desired ones with the reference of
Shell-Echo Marathon rules (SEM). After that, motor was calculated based on factors. And
mechanical transmission system, were designed for the project.
Manufacturing processes discussed with photos and final conclusion and recommendation
were written for what the team accomplished during this project.
