Abstract

Internal combustion engine vehicles are the most produced
and sold vehicles on the market. In recent years, interest in electric vehicles
has begun to increase, especially due to the environmental problems. In the
near future, it is estimated that gasoline and diesel vehicles will be
completely electric vehicles. For this reason, many studies have been conducted
on electric vehicles. Particularly the change of the engine parts, the turning
of the internal combustion part to the electric motor, and the design of these
motors has become an important parameter. In order to improve the performances
of electric vehicles, the batteries of electric motors have been improved. In
this study, a simulation was carried out to conversion 1.3 JTD and 1.3 Multijet
motors to electric vehicles and the performances of these forms are evaluated
by comparing the motor power, torque, and speed of the two vehicles. It was
tried to predict what kind of changes will be achieved by conversion these two
cars into electrical forms. PID controllers were used for inspecting
components. In the study including detailed calculations, the program named AVL
Cruise was used. The findings have shown that the quality of the new electric
vehicle equipment used instead of the internal combustion engine can also
affect results. The graphs from electric vehicles were explained and compared
in detail. It was observed that there may be significant differences in the
efficiency of the vehicles as a result of the conversion of the internal
combustion engine to the electric motor. This made the biggest difference
between the two vehicles. Since there is no data related to the sale prices of
vehicles in the case of the conversion internal combustion vehicles to electric
vehicles, comparisons were performed only on equipment. The latest price
information of the vehicles has not been discussed.
