The design of heavy electric truck chassis is a critical aspect of developing sustainable and efficient transportation solutions. Heavy electric trucks, which are powered by electric motors and rely on large battery packs for energy storage. the structural integrity and strength of the chassis are of utmost importance. the integration of the battery pack into the chassis is a critical consideration. The chassis needs to accommodate the size, weight, and distribution of the battery pack while ensuring proper thermal management and protection. the unique challenges posed by these vehicles. By considering factors such as structural integrity, battery integration, lightweight materials, and other relevant design considerations, it is possible to develop efficient and sustainable heavy electric trucks that meet the demands of modern transportation.

A chassis is one of the vital parts of a heavy motor vehicle, which provides rigidity to the vehicle and improves structural stability and rigidity for accurate handling. The design and material of a chassis structure significantly affects its strength and weight. Optimization techniques can be used in systematic design improvement of chassis to meet industry requirements. The current research is intended to optimize the design of chassis using the Box–Behnken design scheme and the material tested is P100/6061 Al and Al GA 7-230 MMC. Different design points were generated using the design of the experiments. Equivalent stress, deformation and mass were evaluated for each design point. The variable selected for optimization using the Box–Behnken scheme was cross member width. The CAD modelling and FE simulation of the heavy motor vehicle chassis were conducted using ANSYS software. From the optimization conducted on the chassis design, response surface plots of equivalent stress, deformation and mass were generated, which enabled to determine the range of dimensions for which these parameters are maximum or minimum. The sensitivity plots of different variables were generated, which has shown that cross member 2’s width has a maximum effect on equivalent stress and cross member 3’s width has a minimum effect on equivalent stress, whereas for total deformation, cross member 3 shows the maximum sensitivity percentage, which signifies that cross member 3 has the maximum effect on total deformation, and vice versa. The use of the aluminium metal matrix composites P100/6061 Al and Al GA 7-230 MMC aided to reduce the weight of the chassis by 68% and 70%, respectively, without much reduction in the strength of the chassis.

The primary supporting structure of an automobile and its other vital systems is the chassis. The chassis structure is required to bear high shock, stresses, and vibration, and therefore it should possess adequate strength. The objective of current research is to analyze a heavy motor vehicle chassis using numerical and experimental methods. The CAD design and FE analysis is conducted using the ANSYS software. The design of the chassis is then optimized using Taguchi design of Experiments (DOE); the optimization techniques used are the central composite design (CCD) scheme and optimal space filling (OSF) design. Thereafter, sensitivity plots and response surface plots are generated. These plots allow us to determine the critical range of optimized chassis geometry values. The optimization results obtained from the CCD design scheme show that cross member 1 has a higher effect on the equivalent stresses as compared to cross members 2 and 3. The chassis mass reduction obtained from the CCD scheme is approximately 5.3%. The optimization results obtained from the OSF scheme shows that cross member 2 has a higher effect on equivalent stress as compared to cross members 1 and 3. The chassis mass reduction obtained from optimal space filling design scheme is approximately 4.35%.
