Excellence in Education…
The Drive continues…
Jointly Organized by

A host of important and interactive factors contribute to the
successful design of any production vehicle. However, the
combination of Power train, Body–in–White and low-drag platform
design, with emphasis on vehicle mass and drag coefficient
reductions, appears prerequisite to the simultaneous optimization
of efficiency, safety, emissions, performance and cost. The aim of
this module is to elaborate on the concept, styling, construction,
design and analysis of vehicle bodies. This will cover bodies of
cars, bus and commercial vehicle cab. It will help the delegates to
understand methods of analysis applicable to design and
development of whole vehicle platform, with emphasis on body &
chassis performance.
