Abstract

There is a global trend in electrifying ground transportation. For reasons such as reducing greenhouse emissions, maintenance costs and running costs. However, without government subsidies and tax reductions, the initial cost of an electric vehicle is comparatively higher than an ICE one. Moreover, the need for a dedicated infrastructure demands a high capital investment. Therefore, it is more efficient and economically viable to design a light weight electric vehicle. In addition, this vehicle can be used for urban mobility only, given that most individual daily commute is within a 60 to 100 km. In this paper, we propose the design of a small lightweight electric vehicle that can seat two persons. The focus in this paper is on designing the chassis frame. To construct a vehicle chassis there is some parameters to take into consideration to judge that the constructed chassis is optimum one to be used in such vehicle also there are some main missions the constructed chassis must achieve all of them efficiently to be ready for service. We also must say that the material you will use as well as the type of chassis must be chosen carefully according to some specified parameters, we will discuss them in details.
