Smart Solutions for Vehicle Chassis

Abstract

So far parts of the chassis are designed specifically for each type of vehicle, so manufacturing and assembly processes are feasible only for a very large number of units produced each type of model, but they do not allow their adaptation to different desired configurations. Therefore, to minimize production costs and to give the possibility to adapt a different chassis for multiple-body design solutions, a modular structure should be developed. This paper highlights the possibility of developing new modular chassis using different various assemblies and subassemblies. The modular platform provides the ability to use the same components and modules for different vehicles. This solution is not limited in using for modular platforms; it can be used in the construction industry and other fields that require scalability and low masses.
