Abstract
This thesis describes the design and construction of an off-road battery electric research vehicle. The vehicle is based on a one motor per wheel drivetrain topology. It has a flexible and powerful vehicle control module based on a field programmable gate array (FPGA). Vehicle performance and implementation requirements that form the basis of the vehicle design are presented. A model of the vehicle dynamics is developed, which is then used to simulate the vehicle behavior and validate that important performance specifications are met. The details of design and construction are described and illustrated. Vehicle performance results are presented and discussed. Finally a summary of the completed work is presented.
