Abstract
Chassis is the most important part in building a vehicle. Be it motorcycles, cars, or other vehicles. Not only that, the chassis must be made efficient and precise in determining the shape of a vehicle frame. In this study, the authors designed a three-wheeled vehicle chassis with a maximum capacity of 600 kg for transporting people and goods. The highest displacement is seen in the chassis which is loaded with 500 kg and experiences a maximum displacement or deformation of 2,087 mm. The safety factor of the chassis has a maximum limit of 15 ul and a minimum of 2.82 ul. So it can be concluded according to Dobrovolsky, the minimum limit of safety factor (SF) for static load type static load is at least 2.0 ul. For three-wheeled vehicle chassis for rural areas, the results are safe at a load of 600 kg because it has a value above this limit. The purpose of this study is to design a three-wheeled electric vehicle chassis for rural transportation. And analyze it using the FEA (Finite Element Analysis) method using Autodesk Invertor 2021 software.
