Automobile Chassis

A Chassis forms the main skeleton of any vehicle to which the engine body, wheels, axle assemblies etc are attached. The different categories- luxury car, multi-utility vehicle, heavy vehicle etc, that vehicles falls under determine the shape and structure of the chassis.

Much like a human skeleton the chassis too protects the parts it houses. Besides, it also absorbs shock received by the vehicle while in operation.
The recent cars are experimenting with forms that are quite at a departure from the traditional ones. These have the chassis frame and the car body in a single structure. This has, in many ways, proven to provide more tensile strength to the vehicle.

Some of the famous automobile chassis manufacturers include ArvinMeritor, Bosch, Continental, Delphi, ThyssenKrupp Automotive, TRW Automotive and Visteon.
