Abstract
The automotive industry is undergoing a rapid transformation propelled by the electric vehicle (EV) revolution, with the chassis serving as a pivotal element. In this paper chassis designs the unique characteristics of electric vehicles. The traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) chassis is being redefined to optimize performance, safety, and efficiency for electric propulsion systems. The absence of a traditional engine and the integration of electric motors pose new challenges and opportunities for chassis engineers. Weight distribution, structural integrity, and aerodynamics become paramount considerations to ensure optimal handling, efficiency, and safety in electric vehicles. The evolution of electric vehicle chassis design focuses on maximizing the benefits of electric driven. Lightweight materials, strategic placement of battery components, and aerodynamic enhancements are integral aspects of modern electric vehicle chassis. The chassis plays a crucial role in supporting the overall efficiency and performance of electric vehicles, contributing to extended driving range, enhanced acceleration, and improved energy utilization.
