Chassis, also known as ‘Frame’, is the foundation structure of any car that supports it from underneath. The purpose of the chassis is to bear the weight of the car in its idle and dynamic states. And another aspect regarding the power supply to an automobile engine is scarcity and pollution from Fossil fuels. Hence everyone is doing more research on alternatives like Solar, Electric or hybrid driven systems. Through the process of designing, testing and building the ladder type cross bar section chassis is very much suitable light weight solar powered electric vehicles.These chassis provide high level of strength and stiffness performance and relatively easily constructed without the need of specialize machinery and tooling.This type of chassis manufacturing techniques are also less prone to manufacturing defects as compared to other methods as the cross section bars use for making chassis is a standard part and comes directly from supplier. So this paper is mainly focuses on the design and fabricationof chassis for the solar powered electric vehicle. A CAED model is build using the design software and analyzed with the analytical theories. Then the final model of chassis is fabricated and tested for suitability. Also a small modification in Ackerman steering is carried out to cut the radius of curvature of vehicle while turning.
