Abstract :
This paper presents the conceptual design of a hybrid electric off-road vehicle. The vehicle is intended to be used in Colombia (South America) where the topographical conditions require special considerations for the design of the critical systems. A study and preliminary design of the power supply system, the suspension and the powertrain are presented.
