Abstract The following paper contains information about different electric motors and how electric motors make work a big electric
vehicles (EV) like trolleys, trains, underground or small vehicles as cars, just like a combustion motor does.
There are five main electric motor types, DC, induction, permanent magnet synchronous, switched reluctance and brushless DC
motors are studied. Studying these motors develop a concept in the reader about how it works, and the characteristics on them to finally
understand why electric motors it is used in Ecuadorian public transport as we see on Metrobus, Trolley-Bus, and other electric vehicles
arrived.
Information will be collected for do a summary show it below, this information is taken from thesis, essays or papers in order to
encourage the reader on finding a clear idea of whether the electric motor is an option to replace combustion motors in cars or is better
stay with the old ones.
Index Terms Electric Motors, Electric Vehicles, Subways, Trolleys.
I. INTRODUCTION
This work has been done on February 02, 2016 in Quito Ecuador for the
class Electric Machines (IEE584) of the National Polytechnic School dictated
by engineer Dr. Franklin Quilumba.
A. DC Motors
Although DC motors have been the subject of interest since
old time because of simple control and decoupling of flux and
torque, their construction (having brushes and rings) poses
maintenance problems. Therefore, after the growth of vector
control for AC motors (synchronous and induction), the DC
motors' attraction in traction applications diminished.
Of course, DC motors are still good candidates for low power
applications. The commutator actually acts as a robust inverter;
therefore, power electronics devices can be mush simple and
inexpensive. The Peugeot factory of France has introduced a
HEV named "Dynavolt" in which, DC motor has been used as
traction motor
IV. TROLLEYBUS
Trolleybus, also known as trolley or trolley, is an electric bus
powered by a catenary wires from two Superior where it takes
the electricity through two poles. The trolley does not use
special lanes or tracks in the driveway, which it by a more
flexible system. It has rubber tires on steel wheels Time on rails,
as the trams. [6]
DISADVANTAGES
Trolleybus share benefits with tram and bus but also some
disadvantages.
If the trolleybus is accidentally separated from the catenary
stops. For the same reason, the possible routes are limited to the
sections with catenary installed. However, one may incorporate
a battery a conventional combustion engine to enable greater
versatility
ADVANTAGES
Trolleybuses are of particular importance to rugged and
mountainous cities, where electricity is more effective than
diesel when climbing hills; also they have more grip than
tranvas. Trolleybuses, like all electric vehicles, often seen as a
means of transport more compatible with the environment than
burning buses that consume hydrocarbons and emit gases.
The use of energy produced in power plants has advantages
over internal combustion engines : it is more efficient , you can
use wider range of fuels and is more convenient for pollution
control and can reuse the heat generated by supplying hot water
for all uses ( industries , hospitals , sports facilities ) , or cold
generation with absorption equipment . In any case, you can
also use renewable electricity.
V. SUBWAY
Toshiba is one of the suppliers to be used a PMSM
(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) for a different types
of subways.
The goals have been the following two: developing an
environment-friendly new system and reducing signicantly the
running costs for the operator. Using data accumulated through
research, development and led tests during the development
phase, we established the PMSM traction system technologies
for railway cars. The PMSM's advantages such as energy
savings, noise reduction and easier maintenance were veried

C. Quieter
Demands to ensure low noise operation have been
intensifying year by year, especially for the traction of subway
trains. Toshiba has succeeded in reducing ventilation noise by
about 12dB throughout all speed ranges compared to our
conventional open self-ventilating type.
Additionally, since exhaust air and heat are also reduced as
well as noise, this limits the temperature increase in subway
tunnels, helping conserve electricity used to power air
conditioning in the tunnels. [8]

VI. CONCLUSION
The induction motors have been known as the best candidate
for the EV applications because they are robust, less costly, and
mature in technology and need less maintenance. However, in
this paper it is demonstrated that in terms of pollution and fuel
consumption, the permanent magnet and the brushless DC
motors have more priorities such as less pollution, less fuel
consumption and more power to volume ratio which makes
them attractive in the EV applications.
The disadvantages in pollution caused by combustion
engines and even though its advantages in cost, now you can
see as the progress to use the EV will increase, it is now more
by caring for the planet that many engineers working to make
these new profitable vehicles and cleaner, so in Ecuador should
push for more projects to create these vehicles
