Abstract
We produced a test LRV running only by the storage electric energy between tram stops, and steering by the links detecting radius of the truck. The wheel gauge is set as 1,067mm, suitable to an experimental running on the conventional truck line in Japan. This vehicle has 3 pair of 2 independent wheels, and each wheels driven by an electric motor. ELDC is recharged by converted electric energy from kinetic energy of the vehicle. The vehicle has a regenerative brake system, and the Now, we continue to carry out test and get the experimental data, which will be utilized to the commercial vehicle design.
