Fixing an electric motor and controller

In summary, the conversation is about modifying a current Maruti Suzuki Omni van into an electric van for goods carrying purpose. The modified vehicle should meet certain criteria, including a GVW of 2000kg, frontal area of 2.34 sq.m, and a maximum velocity of 60km/hr. The plan for the modification includes using a HPM 20 kw BLDC motor with HPC 700 controller, and a DC to DC converter for other electrical equipment. The specific motor and battery setup is yet to be decided. The person also seeks suggestions for the motor and controller.

You'll need a plan for the batteries, motor & motor controller, as well as a way to provide 12V to all of the standard equipment on the vehicle. What motor and battery setup do you plan to use?

i wish to use HPM 20 kw BLDC motor with HPC 700 controller.
as I'm newbee at this also give me your suggestions over my motor and controller.
i'm going to use dc to dc converter for all the other equipment which will be needed to run the other electrical appliances.
i'll decide battery type and capacity after fixing motor and controller.
