Vehicle Structuring

This is common assumption that lightweight cars are unsafe. this assumption is completely wrong.safety is not dependent on the weight of the vehicle but dependent on the crumble zone of the structure. TATA NANO is one of the lightest vehicle(Around 600kg), but not a single report is reported for wind blowing & off road due to lighter weight.

 Now are days manufactures looking for lighter weight vehicles for good consumption of fuel
and greater mileage. Lighter vehicles have better power to weight ratio. manufactures are working to to have a lighter vehicle with lot of light weighted materials.

 As we are talking about the crumble zone, vehicle are made enough to take the impact of the obstacles. it it heavily dependent on the structuring of the sheet metal. and also designed aerodynamically.

LSPV- Load Sensing proportioning valve.

Image
Load sensing proportioning valves are use in passenger vehicles & in commercial vehicles too. it is found very much effective in commercial vehicles because the vehicles will carry the more load. As we know all during the travelling or motion of vehicle, parts or the things associated with body also in motion. which will cause the balancing of the vehicles some time. such kind of balancing are taken care by many more technologies like ABS, EBS etc. In basic functioning of brakes hydraulic lines are connected to each of the wheel of vehicles, the brake fluid plays important role in controlling the motion of vehicle. for loaded vehicles more compressed brake fluid required. where as for lighter vehicle not much fluid pressure is required.  The system includes a load sensor oriented between a suspension component, such as a supporting spring, and the vehicle frame or body and includes a cavity for in compressible fluid in which variation in load will vary the volume o...
