Research And Development Of The Econopower Car

With the continuous development of the living standards of people, energy conservation and environmental protection has been gradually got more and more people's attention. The sharp decline of the world's oil reserves amount and the continue rising of crude oil prices indicates that energy saving is the necessary trends of the present vehicle development.Papers design and develop an Econopower Car on the First Honda 2007 China Econopower. the major guiding ideology which based on satisfaction of competition requirement is reduce the whole vehicle equipment quality and resistance through the whole vehicle mechanism complexity during the entire design process. It select reasonable scheme and match parameters on the whole Econopower Car systems such as dynamic system , steering system traveling system and so on. Whole design and three-dimensional digitalization model to designed vehicle by using AutoCAD CATIA and CAD design software. Finite element analysis of designed frame has made by using ANSYS software. Make sure the reasonableness and chassis materials of the frame structure. Kinematics simulation to steering trapezium of steering system and reasonable matching to the parameters of steering trapezium by using ADAMS software. According to a large number of real vehicle tests proved the feasibility of the entire design and carried on a further adjustment on all system parameters of testing process, which get a more rational and efficient system parameters and competition scheme.
