Abstract
In our country, the motorcycle is one of the main means of transportation in the city. On the other hand, in public transport, Qing qi rickshaws are most common. The motorbike is economical and easy to maintain transport resource. But the biggest problem is their safety concern. Every year a majority of road accidents occur on bikes. Bikes are designed for only 2 persons. But in our country, most people travel by overloading the bikes with up to 3-4 people. On the fuel tank, we see children sitting on them. Unfortunately, the major population in our country is belonging to the middle class. They cannot afford conventional cars. Each year millions of dollars are spent on the import of vehicles. Similarly, a huge portion of our trade is spending on the import of petroleum. Since these cars have high-power engines so they consume a large amount of fuel. As a result, there is an increase in pollution due to the harmful exhaust gases. There is a need for small size cars that are locally assembled and easy to maintain. Therefore, for this project, the author designed a 70cc engine Microcar. It contains all the necessary features available in the entry-level vehicle. The chassis is fabricated using the square cross-section pipes of mild steel. The upper body is fabricated using sheet metal and glass-reinforced plastic. The 3d model if the chassis is prepared using the Solid work's software. FEA analysis is also performed using Ansys Static Structural for calculating the stress and deformation under certain loading conditions.
