Motivated by the increasing demand for environmentally sustainable transportation solutions, this study aims to revolutionize vehicle architecture by prioritizing economy, scalability, and adaptability. Beginning with meticulous design selections and CAD modeling, the ladder frame chassis was crafted to optimize structural integrity while minimizing weight. Inspired by nature's efficiency, the design strategy sought to strike a balance between weight reduction and robustness, facilitated by SolidWorks software. Subsequent finite element analysis (FEA) simulations using ANSYS software validated the chassis's structural performance and safety under static structural loads and torsional forces. Crucial parameters such as total deformation and stress distributions were scrutinized, affirming the chassis's resilience under diverse loading conditions. The culmination of this research involved the fabrication of the SEV and its successful road testing, underscoring the practical viability of the design. By translating theoretical concepts into tangible results, this thesis demonstrates the efficacy of the ladder frame chassis in real-world driving scenarios, affirming its potential to enhance both performance and safety. The study concludes with forward-looking perspectives, suggesting avenues for further refinement and optimization. Continued research into advanced materials, component arrangements, and performance evaluations promises to further enhance the SEV's efficiency and applicability in sustainable transportation systems
