INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS ANATV?
• It means an all terrain vehicle – which
is specially fabricated for off road
driving.
• ATV is fabricated for very rough
terrains and in general is a single person
vehicle.
• Fabrication process is iterative and
based on several engineering and
reverse engineering processes
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
• Design and build a safe and durable ATV for
off road terrains
• Optimize the ATV’s performance for speed,
handling and stability
• Develop reliable suspension and steering for
better control and comfort
• Implement an efficient powertrain and
effective braking system for safety and
performance
• Test and validate the ATV to ensure it meets
design and safety standards.

• Cockpit area was too large
• Front gap from the front most member to driver toeas
was extra and useless empty space
• Rear engine compartment area was smaller and
difficult to fit parts
• There were two base panels to keep propeller shaft in
between
• Cockpit area is closely designed according to driver ergonomics
• Front gap reduced so as to fit differential, steering and brakes
components smartly in less area
• Rear engine compartment area is kept wide and spacious to fit
splash shield and other parts safely
• Only one belly panel is kept thus reducing extra material and
weight.

Lessons Learnt
Previous
problems
• Splashshield mounting was improper as it could not avoid oil spillage.
• Propeller shaft U joint was not covered with proper thickness material thus
compromising driver safety
• Low acceleration due to the heavy weight .
• Faced problem in suspension and traction test due to the heavy weight .
• Wheel size is 21*7-10
Proposed
solutions
in the
new
vehicle
• Splash shield material and area of fit both are paid special attention at earliest stages.
• We are now ensuring that all rotating parts are properly covered in accordance with
the driver safety compliance
• Targeting high vehicle performance and driver safety priority .
• Wheel size is 23*7-10 is beneficial for roll over obstacle.
5.
CHASSIS
The structural frameworkof the ATV, designed to protect the driver during
rollovers or impacts and provide a foundation for mounting other
components like the suspension, engine, and body panels.
It is crucial for the vehicle’s overall safety and structural integrity
CHASSIS
ROLL CAGE
NAMED POINTS
FRAME
MEMBER
• Main structural
components that form
the core of the roll
cage.
• They are responsible
for the overall strength
and integrity of the
structure, especially in
the event of a rollover
or collision.
• They must be designed
and positioned to
provide maximum
protection to the driver.
• These components
provide additional
support and
reinforcement to the
primary members but
are not as critical in
absorbing impact
forces.
• Enhance the rigidity
and stability of the
overall structure and
help mount other
components.
