1. INTRODUCTION
In India the first automobile ran in early 19
th
century, from that time till today
there has been is vast development in the different automobile sectors A vehicle is
categori!ed as"small cars, #edium car, $state cars, sports cars etc
%here is very less development in the racing cars category, especially for off
road race vehicles in India And our aim is to design and develop such a vehicle &hich
is especially for the off road races &hich are held in many countries other than India
'asically &e tried to design and develop such a vehicle &hich can meet off road race
conditions Although automobiles are intended to move over a specially prepared
surface (high&ay), they can move on a natural earth surface &ithout a constructed
road or &ith a little ine*pensive preparation %his capacity of automobile is
characteri!ed by a special property" off +the" road mobility
,A$ (,O-I$%. OF A/%O#O%IV$ $01I0$$RI01) arrange 2#I0I
'A3A4 races , every year in ,outh Africa, /5, /, and no& they are planning to
arrange these 6ind of races in India %his race is open for &orld&ide technical
education universities From last five year, from India only Delhi -ollege of
$ngineering is participating in this event 7e have tried to design and develop the
vehicle &hich fulfills the ma*imum re8uirements of this race and &e hope to ma6e
further changes as per racing needs
%he design of the chassis &as first done9 &e have designed chassis in such a
&ay that it can sustain any :er6 or impact and fulfill the entire re8uirement for &hich
the vehicle has been designed 7e have made t&o frames and then :oined them firmly,
to give more strength to the chassis
%he engine &e have ta6en is of 'ullet ;<=cc, >etrol, 1?@A 'B> %his engine
fulfills all po&er re8uirement of the vehicle %his engine is of ne& model (standard)
'ullet 7e have selected the clutch and gear bo* of the same standard 'ullet For this
purpose &e bought &hole assembly of engine, clutch and gear bo*

%he basic 8uestion then &e had been about the differential 7e selected the
differential of the Auto ric6sha& (old model, front engine), &hich &as suitable for our
po&er transmission to the rear a*les %he po&er transmission in bet&een the gear bo*
and differential is through a chain and sproc6et arrangement %his differential has
for&ard and reverse gear options ,o &e got four for&ard gears and four reverse gears
option &ith same differential A separate lever is provided on the differential to
change the reverse or for&ard motion
Independent suspension is used in all four &heels &ith coil spring and damper
7e have selected the front suspension of #aruti A@@ for all four &heels as per our
design 7e have altered the coil springs for its soft &or6ing 7e have increased the
free length of the front side coil spring C inches and rear 1D inches on the basis of itEs
free length
%he &heel hub is of the #aruti A@@ for all four &heels, because &e have four
&heel independent suspensions %he stabili!ing bar used in the vehicle is also of the
#aruti A@@, but &e have modified it as per our &heel trac6 for front and rear side
%his vehicle is rear engine rear &heel drive %he a*les used are of #aruti Fen
(ne& model v*i) 7e had changed the lengths of a*les as per our dimensions and for
smooth drive 7e matched the Auto Ric6sha&Es a*le &ith #aruti FenEs a*le, to get
the drive from Differential to the &heels
%he ne*t basic 8uestion &e had, the control of the vehicle %o control the
vehicle safely and 8uic6ly &e decided to fit the four &heel disc bra6e facility %hen
&e designed the bra6ing system for the vehicle As per our design &e chose the disc
bra6e assembly (front side) of #aruti Aoo model for all four &heels 7e have also
selected the same bra6ing fluid pipeline used in the #aruti A@@, but &e have to shape
it as per our re8uirements

2. ENGINE SELECTION
REQUIREMENT:-
7hen &e decided to design and develop the off road vehicle for 2#I0I 'A3A
RA-$,4, then firstly &e studied the basic engine re8uirements for this race li6e cc,
tor8ue limitations %hen by considering the total &eight of the vehicle including the
driverEs &eight &e calculated the total po&er re8uired to propel the vehicle One more
important point &e considered &as traction re8uired for off roads %hen &e finally
calculated the total po&er re8uired %he total po&er re8uired &as about 1?9@ 'B>
SURVEY:-
7e made survey of the mar6et for engines available in that range 7e found
t&o bi6es falling under this category namely .amaha RD ;D@ (t&o stro6e) and 'ullet
;D@ (four stro6e) 'ut &e selected the engine of the 'ullet ;D@ cc (actually;<=cc),
petrol 'ecause .amaha RD ;D@ engine no& a days is not easily available in mar6et
and the parts are also not available easily 'ut in case of the 'ullet the engine and
spare parts are easily and cheaply available %or8ue of this engine &as also up to our
re8uirements #aintenance of 'ullet engine is also less and cheap as compared to the
RD
7hile calculating the running gear parameters, the magnitude of the po&er
loss coefficient is determined and soil condition is assumed %he e*perience of using
four"&heel drive automobiles sho&s that, &hen used off"the"road &ith hard surface,
their permissible speed is limited by the suspension capabilities %he basis for engine
selection is the po&er re8uired to 6eep the vehicle moving on the most probable road
and mud condition as &ell as the results of economic analysis and feasibility
evaluation An increase in the specific po&er leads to an improvement in the off"road
mobility of the automobile
%he basic thing about the 'ullet engine &as that it &as in our budget And this
engine is also permissible for 2#I0I 'A3A4 in all the &ay li6e &eight, si!e etc 7e
bought second hand engine of 'ullet &ith clutch and gear bo* assembly 7e have

changed some of the engine components &hich &ere &orn out li6e piston rings,
valves, head cap of the inlet valve and gas6ets, bearing cap 7e did oil change of the
engine, cleaning of the carburetor, cleaning of the air filter -ontact 'rea6er (-'
>oint) and condenser also needed some ad:ustments and repair

3. CHASSIS
-hassis of the automobile is the main supporting member on &hich the
follo&ing components are mounted
1 $ngine
C 1earbo*, clutch
; ,uspension system
< ,teering system
D Fuel tan6 N supply system
LOAD ACTION ON CHASSIS:-
a) 7eight of the component and driver causing a sagging effect due to
bending action
b) Bori!ontal forces provided by road irregularities act on the end of the
side members deflecting the rectangular frame to a parallelogram
c) /p&ard t&isting forces caused by road shoc6s to provide a torsional
effect
In order to provide a good resistance to bending and torsional effect the frame
section should be made of proper form %here are three common types of frame
sections, channel, tubular and bo* or s8uare sections &hich are used for motor
vehicles
-hannel section provides good resistance to bending but is poor in torsion
&hile tubular section provides is good resistance to torsion but poor resistance to
bending %he bo* section is comparatively resistant to bending and torsion Due to
above properties &e used three sections 1
st
&e made a tubular frame, but it &as not
sufficient to sustain various loads ,o &e used -"section for rest and bo* section for
engine mounting to give a good load sustaining characteristic to frame
