Two engineers make electric car in Turkey's Balikesir
8-month long efforts of two Turkish engineers from Balikesir ended up with an electric vehicle they called ECTO.
The vehicle weighs 250 kg and goes 60 km for 1,60 TL worth of energy. It takes 6 hours to charge the battery.
One of the two engineers, Cagatay Hergul says the world trend is vehicles running on renewable energy sources and that their vehicle could come in handy for delivery services in short distances in the city. They set out to come up with a vehicle to replace motorcycles in delivery services.
Hergul says the vehicle is much safer than motorcycles and the running cost is as low as possible.
The other engineer Murat Gugor says their vehicle has a 5 hp small engine and 5 point safety belt for a secure voyage and driving comfort.
Gungor says the range of the vehicle could be improved with a closed circuit solar charging system.
