The vehicle comprises of the fellowing
1. Frame
2. Body
3. Engine
4. Transmission system
5. Suspension system
6. Steering system
7. Brakes system
8. Electrical systems
1. FRAME
It is used to form the skeleton of the vehicle and its functions is to carry on all the units of the vehicle. The frame must be strong that it can sustain high pressure. It is made up from either steel pressing welded or revited together to make it reinforcement.
2. BODY
It is made up from a large number of steel pressing which are welded together with doors, bonnet and boot to form a weather proof and comfortable compartment for the driver and the passengers.
3. ENGINE
It’s the unit that converts the heat energy into mechanical energy and also act as a power unit of the vehicle which consist of radiator for cooling, fuel, ignition and lubrication system.
4. TRANSMISSION
This system transmit the drive or power from the engine to the road wheels. This system consist of clutch, gearbox, propeller shaft and final drive.
5. SUSPENSION SYSTEM
This system absorbs the road shocks and keeps the vehicle height within a reasonable limit.
6. STEERING SYSTEM
This system helps to control or direct the movement of the vehicle.
7. BRAKING SYSTEM
This system is to retard or stop the movement of the vehicle
8. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The system provides lighting engine starting and other needs
It also includes modification of vehicles. Manufacturing domain deals with the creation and assembling the whole parts of automobiles is also included in it.
The automotive engineering field is research -intensive and involves direct application of mathematical models and formulas. The study of automotive engineering is to design, develop, fabricate, and test vehicles or vehicle components from the concept stage to production stage.
Production, development, and manufacturing are the three major functions in this field.
Automotive engineers include those listed below:
Automobile engineering is a branch study of engineering which gives you the knowledge of manufacturers , designing, mechanical mechanisms as well as operations of automobiles. It is an introduction to vehicle engineering which deals with motorcycles, cars, buses, trucks, etc. It includes branch study of mechanical, electronic, software and safety elements. Some of the engineering attributes and disciplines that are of importance to the automotive engineer and many of the other aspects are included in it.
