Abstract
This project focuses on the development of the passive safety components of a new type of Battery Electric Vehicle which tries to be a sort of market mover both from structural and material points of view. The most difficult job is to obtain low deceleration perceived by the occupants, since trying to be as lighter as possible, this is a very small vehicle, hence it does not have much space to decelerate and to absorb the energy of the crash, therefore also the choice of the materials is crucial. For what concern the chassis, it is inspired to F1 cars of the '80s: those race cars were the pioneer of a composite survival cell, the same concept as the one that we found on today's F1 cars.
This is because structures like this made of composite material are extremely light but equally strong and they absorb in a very good manner the energy of possible crash
