HUMVEE PROJECT PLAN

HUMVEE PROJECT PLAN
We have decided to go with the 3 clutch 2 motor/generater idea proposed at a meeting we had with Crane and Indy Powers. The team has also decided to scale down to a 4 cylinder engine and would like to go down to a smaller transmission if possible. We currently have space to fit 14 of the 11" x 6" x 12" lithium ion titanate batteries, but we don't have room for the Enerdel. We also would like to look into flat batteries to convert the humvee bed cargo space, then place a steel plate on the batteries to prevent crushing them. Then they will add the same amount of steel to the wheel well tops to make the bed taller. Our timeline is included and is only a estimated plan.
