2W Electric Vehicle Chassis Development
Project History:
Di-Vinci provided engineering support for the development of a two-wheeler electric vehicle chassis platform, focusing on structural design, packaging integration, and manufacturability. The project involved designing a lightweight yet robust chassis structure capable of integrating EV components such as battery packs, motor systems, and suspension assemblies.
The engineering team delivered optimized design solutions to ensure structural integrity, efficient component packaging, and manufacturability for welded frame assemblies, enabling the customer to meet aggressive EV development timelines.
