Popis: This study analyses the feasibility of electric 3-wheeled motorcycle-taxis in Dar es Salaam from a technical and user oriented point of view on the power train. Based on the experiences and expectations of an interviewed group of drivers, two electric power train variants for 3-wheeled vehicles have been set up and compared. In order to calculate the vehicle energy demand, a simulation model has been set up. This model uses a drive cycle that has been generated for the specific location of Dar es Salaam using GPS tracks recorded during a field trip. Results contain the vehicle battery weight, energy demand and range for varied battery capacities. Finally, a possible power train variant is suggested.
