The Development of Electrical Hydraulic System for E-TOK Car

Abstract

E-TOK car is an agricultural tool that can be driven, carry and transport in the areas that difficult to access such as narrow areas and steep areas. E-TOK car required two workers to control which makes man labor wasted. If an E-TOK car is re-designed and                re-engineered to reduce labor requirement, it can reduce operational costs. Therefore, the research team has collaborated with the private organization to develop a 4-gear E-TOK car using an electrical hydraulic system for comprehensive agriculture. The benefits of the developed E-TOK car include increasing in working speed, easy to assemble, improve its versatility for agricultural purpose. The re-engineered of E-TOK car not only improve its strength and durability but also decrease its cost investment within a reasonable price range for farmers. The development of E-TOK car includes the improvement in the internal engine, wheel hub system, steering system, gears system, belts, gear housing and a hybrid system that reduce fuel consumption. Furthermore, the structure of the basket is developed for more capability and functionality. The load-bearing structure of the E-TOK car is strengthened with standard materials for more durability and more shocks resistant when drive in mountainous agricultural areas.
