A South Asian motorcycle major ventured into developing a new passenger three wheeler.

Axiom was contracted to design, engineer and develop a complete 3 wheeler. The design specifications for the use and abuse conditions were derived from a passenger minivan making this product an highly engineered 3 wheeler.

Project Highlights

• Developed design concepts for structural substructure such as body and chassis using up front structural CAE and vehicle dynamics study
  
• Detailed mechanical design of the body and chassis systems
  
• Virtual tests and simulation for structural , vibration and crash load cases
  
• Development of 3D model for all components and subsystems
  
• Manufacturing design and tooling development of sheet metal and plastic parts
  
• Prototype development of the system
  
• Assembly , Deployment and Testing in laboratories

Results :

• Structural Design ensured very low noise and vibration levels
  
• The vehicle and occupants survived frontal impacts in city driving conditions
  
• Development of complete design package along with PDM integration
• The vehicles is running in all major campuses across India

Core Competency Leverage:

Innovation, Mechanical Design, Automotive Structures design, CAD, CAE, Design and Prototyping Skills
