Abstract :

In today��?s age of automobile revolution, limits are always tested in terms of vehicular performance and fuel usage optimization. The ever increasing threat of pollution and its ill-effects has led to shift from conventional fuels to renewable eco-friendly alternatives. This quest for finding an eco-friendly city manoeuvrable vehicle has been fulfilled by development of Efficycle- A three wheeled hybrid vehicle (2 passenger capacity working on battery + pedal drive) with tadpole configuration (2F -1R). Suspension Systems is an important aspect of a vehicle which contributes towards improving overall handling under influence of various forces that are encountered during driving. Thus it is mandatory to optimize the system depending upon space and manufacturing constraints. This optimization involves iterative calculations and proper selection of parameters such as Tire width, track width, vehicles wheelbase etc. This paper mainly aims to find an optimum suspension system for three wheel hybrid that is theoretically sound and practically impeccable.
