A Study of Electric Vehicle Prototype for Shell Eco-marathon

摘要

The paper reviews the opportunities for developing and researching the suspension's element of an electric vehicle prototype for Shell Eco-marathon competition. The purpose of this particular paper is to examine element of suspension from prototype under specify features, before it can be produced. This suspension element is a subject of a stress test to determine its strength qualities during its exploitation. Thus, its size, weight and way of designing are being optimized to enhance its reliability and reduce the cost of production. Based on obtained results, element with better constructive characteristics has been designed and produced. All information about the shape of the elements in the structure is in electronic form, which allows the use of CAM technology in the elaboration of the individual details.
