To reduce the negative impact of traditional means of transport vehicles powered by gasoline and diesel fuel and which include:
1. Air pollution
2. Noise
3. Traffic congestion
4. The high cost of transportation

The design and manufacture of a vehicle powered by electric power may be the best solution to overcome the above-mentioned impacts, the project’ aim, which represents a direct application of the principle of technology  localization in order to produce a local product using national technology and manufacturing to design an electric vehicle for everyday use within the city, where consists of a small convenient structure to reduce the traffic congestion, which  is equipped with four seats, along with a 3000 watts engine, in addition to  a system of energy conservation  48-volt DC voltage and energy of 1600 amp/hr which qualifies it to travel at 60 km / h maximum within the city and to travel for a distance of 120 km without need to recharge. By producing this vehicle with a final cost which does not exceed 10,000 EGP, it will provide an ideal solution for a large segment of the Egyptian community by providing a local product for family use for transportation within the city, which could be suitable for university students, public-sector workers and employees with low-income. It was planned to implement the project in three phases:

Phase I:  Completed in 01/01/2008
- Design and implementation of the passengers’ seating structure.
- Design and implementation of the suspension system.
- Design and Execution of electric propulsion system.
- Testing the efficiency of front and rear movement.

Phase II: Completed in 07/22/2008
- Modification of the design of the passengers’ seating structure to hold four passengers instead of two.
- Design and implementation of variable mechanical propulsion system using four-speed gearbox of “Easy Tronic “system.
- Design and implementation of computerized control and monitoring system which include the following:
 Front and rear cameras operating during vehicle parking.
 Record the entire trip using the front and rear cameras to act as a black-box in case of accidents.
 A navigation system GPS using satellite maps.
 Demonstrating operating data such as speed, battery charge amount, travelled distance until the end of vehicle’s charge.
 Visual phone.
 TV and CD, MP3, DVD player in addition to games.
 Voice command system.

Phase III:  Under construction
- Design and implementation of the doors with bilateral axes.
- Design and implementation of the external structure.
- Design and implementation of the lighting system.
