ABSTRACT
This work is an attempt evolve a quicker and easier method of achieving Transportation. This will no doubt save considering human labour and time wasted involved in traditional manual method of transportation.
To achieve this, preliminary experiment was first carried out to determine the optimum speed of the motor vehicle. Various design alternative s for achieving the design solution were sythesized and a choice of an economic method which would satisfy the objective was made. Base on the principles guiding the performance of the motor vehicle, the dimensions and sizes of the various components were established.
Appropriate materials were subsequently selected and fabricated to require sizes. The motor vehicle was then assembled and tested.
After testing, it was found to perform efficiently this satisfying the objective for which it was designed.
