Abstract - The automobile chassis is the foundation for

At the time of the first Mass Production Assembly Line Started by the great Henry Ford on December 1st 1913. From that time several automobile manufacturers are trying different things and introducing several technologies in order to increase the production and to make their vehicles more durable and powerful. One such system that have seen a swift technological and manufacturing advancement is the Roll Cage or Chassis system. The chassis of an automobile has been an important part for the manufacturing companies since it supports all the other components that are to be fitted into the vehicle, It was like the foundation of the main vehicle. In order to make the foundation strong several materials, different shapes of the materials, and different types of chassis was used. This all factors resulted in improvement of the chassis and due to which the vehicle became more durable and robust, but as the time passed several performance factors was demanded from the automobile by the people, like better fuel consumption, Increasing speed, more aerodynamic shape, overall light weight vehicle this alldemand lead to the development of chassis system. Several light weight materials were tested in order to replace the heavy materials so the overall weight of the vehicle would reduce, which would result in better fuel efficiency and better speed. Some material of equal strength but of less weight than the original materials were used. Also, different types of chassis system were developed like single frame ladder chassis, double frame ladder chassis, tubular chassis, monocoque chassis etc.

internal components and external loads, influencing vehicle performance. Advancements in design and construction have improved speed, handling, safety, and fuel economy. The evolution of chassis systems, originating from Henry Ford's assembly line, has been marked by technological leaps, particularly in lightweight materials and innovative designs. This research aims to provide insight for student teams in automotive competitions, facilitating the creation of efficient, high-performance chassis for hybrid electric vehicles, by examining various materials and design approaches. Key Words: Hybrid electric vehicle, Chassis, Design, Manufacturing, analysis, testing, Material Selection, Impact Analysis.

1.INTRODUCTION The automobile chassis is the structural foundation of a vehicle. It is the main supporting system of the vehicle which supports the internal components of the vehicle and also sustains the load acted upon it due to this integrated component and also the extra weight putted on the vehicle. The automobile chassis play an important role in developing the vehicle and the performance factors that would be achieved by a automobile. Its design and construction influence the vehicle's handling, ride comfort, and durability. Due to certain advancement in the development of chassis system the performance factors like speed, handling, safety, fuel economy has been improved considerably. The chassis frame supports the various components and the body and keeps them in correct positions. Our attempt is not entirely correct way to design a chassis system, but it is an honest effort to design a chassis for a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV).

1.2 Some Drawbacks in current model(from analyzing current model) The automobile market has significantly changed, with the replacement of conventional petrol and diesel vehicles by electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). The manufacturing and design approaches of these vehicles are evolving to meet the need for pollution-free vehicles. HEVs aim to provide maximum range with low fuel consumption, making weight a key design parameter. Manufacturers are

1.1 History As we know that Automobile Industry is an evergreen industry and it has seen several advancements in recent time.
