การพัฒนายานยนต์ประหยัดเชื้อเพลิงเพื่ออนาคต : นนทรีอีสาน

Abstract

The world is presently confronted with many critical problems; the fossil fuel depletion, global warming, air pollution and rain acidification etc. These problems can partially be mitigated by the development of the fuel economy vehicle for the future. This paper describes the development of a fuel economy vehicle, Nontree-Esan Car, by using the advantage of automotive engineering. Nontree-Esan Car is considered to be a light weight car with an aerofoil section which helps reduce the air resistance. The engine and its carburetor are modified, using 3 tires to reduce the rolling resistance. Weight of the driver and his driving skill are also considered. Nontree-Esan Car has participated in “8 ^th Honda Econo Power Contest National Race” in Bangkok and won the Third Honors Award, National Class of the University Invention Car Group with the best fuel saving record of 1055.78 km/liter at the average speed of 25.6 km/h.
