Abstract
Weight directly affects performance and emission parameters of vehicle. The main contributor of weight in heavy vehicle is chassis frame [1]. The reduction of weight of chassis improves fuel economy and reduces carbon dioxide emission. There are several conventional and non-conventional chassis materials available in the market [2]. Composite materials future looks promising because of their lesser weight and higher performance [3]. Proper usage of such product will help in fuel economy thus, saving the fuel and environment [4]. Also it helps to achieve higher performance readily than other conventional materials [5]. Hence, in this Project, we are going to reduce the weight of TATA ACE chassis using composites after the design and analysis of chassis frame [6]. Different materials are tested in ANSYS software are the material having the best desirable properties is recommended for further application in the automotive industry [7].
