Development of an electric 8 seats tourist vehicle with high safety and high-grade climbing capability

In recent years, because of the rise of domestic tourism and environmental awareness, the number of visitors continues to rise year after year. Most of the national forest resorts and amusement parks are turning into purchasing electric vehicles to replace conventional gas/diesel vehicles in order to pursuit green energy principle. However, those resorts and parks are mostly located in mountainous areas of Taiwan, where may probably have steep slopes. Most of such electric vehicles carry 8 to 11 passengers. Due to the larger number of passengers and heavier loads, the power required varies greatly. Therefore, their powertrains, body structures and chassis systems are more difficult to design. Usually, most electric vehicles used in resorts are designed to drive on the flat ground.
