DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF 30 TON TRAILER CHASSIS FRAME TO REDUCE POLLUTION BY DECREASING THE EMISSION THROUGH WEIGHT REDUCTION USING ADVANCED LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIAL

The automotive chassis is a skeletal frame on which several mechanical parts are bolted. The main purpose of trailer chassis is to withstand all the loads acting on it. Usually, chassis frame of trailers has heavy weight that causes high fuel consumption and emission which pollutes the environment. In present work, an advanced lightweight material has been selected and the trailer structure has been designed and analyzed for weight reduction and significant reduction of 73.61% has been observed in trailer structure weight which leads to reduction in fuel consumption with decrease in CO2 emission that prevents the environment from pollution.
