Abstract
The Cargo carts have been used for transportation in both rural and urban regions for centuries, with improved forms and utilization. Traditionally, animals such as cattle, horses, and bulls were used to pull the cart. Attempts have been made to develop cargo carts propelled by electrical energy, as the use of electric vehicles grows and battery technology improves. Also this project was undertaken to practically build an electrically propelled cargo cart using a Bldc motor and batteries after analyzing numerous designs and performance of such cargo carts. The cart's mechanical frame was developed with the weight factor in mind, with the goal of having a sturdy construction. The cart is powered by a brushless dc (Bldc) motor, which plays a vital role in reducing losses and enhancing cart performance. So all of the elements included are whether mechanical or electrical or economical have been calculated and incorporated in the cart.
