BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES

A host of important and interactive factors contribute to the successful design of any production vehicle. However, the combination of Power train, BodyinWhite and low-drag platform design, with emphasis on vehicle mass and drag coefficient reductions, appears prerequisite to the simultaneous optimization of efficiency, safety, emissions, performance and cost. The aim of this module is to elaborate on the concept, styling, construction, design and analysis of vehicle bodies. This will cover bodies of cars, bus and commercial vehicle cab. It will help the delegates to understand methods of analysis applicable to design and development of whole vehicle platform, with emphasis on body & chassis performance.
