One of a city car’s most crucial components, the chassis, has to be built sturdy enough to support the weight of the whole vehicle. The purpose of the chassis is to prevent the vehicle from bending or deforming while in operation. The purpose of this project is to develop and test a two-passenger city car’s chassis. The stress on the chassis is tested in this research utilizing a development approach that makes use of software based on finite elements. The von Mises stress data are examined to ascertain the strength of the chassis. Two tests with different loads—the focused load and the dispersed load—are used in chassis loading analysis. The simulation’s findings demonstrate how effectively the city car’s chassis can support the weight. The maximum stress resulting from the focused load operating on the city car’s chassis is 29.97 MPa, according to the findings of the strength study conducted on the chassis. However, the dispersed load on the chassis results in a maximum stress of 108.10 MPa. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025.
