This project focuses on the fabrication of a lightweight and durable chassis for an electric utility vehicle (EUV), aimed at promoting sustainable transportation solutions. The chassis serves as the structural backbone of the vehicle, designed to accommodate electric powertrain components, batteries, and other subsystems while ensuring safety, stability, and performance. Material selection, structural analysis, and fabrication techniques were carefully considered to achieve an optimal balance between strength and weight. Computer-aided design (CAD) and Solidworks tools were used for modeling, Analysis using Ansys and followed by fabrication. The final chassis design successfully meets the functional and structural requirements for an EUV and sets the foundation for further integration and vehicle development. This work contributes to the growing field of electric mobility by providing a cost-efficient and reliable platform for utility-focused electric vehicles.
