Abstract: The 1-ton truck is a highly popular vehicle in Thailand and several regions worldwide, with an accumulated quantity in Thailand exceeding seven million units. Almost all these trucks are powered by internal combustion engines. Transition towards electric mobility policy creates opportunity in electric conversion of existing trucks to accelerate number of electric vehicles share. This research presents an engineering process and Thailand regulations related to the conversion of 1-ton trucks with internal combustion engines into electric vehicles. The aim of this transcript is to summarize the important design aspects, technical equipment, and relevant documentation required for registration and legal compliance. Additionally, the research highlights the essential additional components that need to be designed, along with the performance testing of a modified truck. Test result reveals that the converted electric trucks can generate 111.69 horsepower and 348.17 N-m torque at the wheels. They have undergone road testing for a distance of 250 kilometres without any operational issues and can be legally registered as modified electric vehicles with Thailand Department of Land Transport. Consequently, this study provides guidelines for future engineering endeavouring in the field of electric truck conversions.
