Chassis

Getting the chassis of a vehicle right is crucial.  Chassis design is a core capability of our design team. MIRA has colossal experience in the design and development of both novel and classical chassis systems employed on a multitude of vehicles.  Examples range from small cars to large commercial vehicles, for clients around the world. Whether designing from a blank sheet of paper or integrating existing systems and components into a design, the final product is always of high-quality design, fulfils targets and at the right cost.

 

Key performance characteristics such as the kinematics and compliance behaviour, robustness, durability and crashworthiness are designed in at concept stage using numerous the CAE tools and development facilities at the team's disposal. As with all areas of our capabilities, MIRA's multi-disciplined teams of experts are called upon to ensure the optimum design is achieved.
