Abstract. Electric Utility Vehicles (EUV) is a viable option of transportation that is able to serve the short-range transportation and is less harmful on the environment. The article reports a systematic design, analysis and production of a EUV the proposed use of which is on campus and industrial levels. The project involves identification of the problem, conceptual design, chassis modelling by use of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and analytical stress calculations and structural validation by Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The chassis was constructed out of thin sections of mild steel and fitted with the necessary mechanical and electrical parts. The prototype was experimentally tested showing sufficient load-carrying capacity, structural safety and stability in its operation. The findings affirm that the innovative electric utility vehicle is applicable in low-speed utility processes and promotes the sustainable movement efforts.
