This Thesis is part of a wider feasibility study concerning the transition from the actual internal combustion engine to an electric motor for a Rear-Wheel-Drive light-duty commercial vehicle. Among the available solutions to implement the transition, the possibility of converting the present Rear-Wheel-Drive to Front-Wheel-Drive is investigated. This Thesis is focused on the current double wishbone suspension of the front axle, to assess how the drivetrain affects its elasto-kinematic behaviour and provide some guidelines to the manufacturer. Considering that traditionally Rear-Wheel-Drive is the predominant architecture implemented on light-duty commercial vehicles, understanding whether Front-Wheel-Drive allows to take advantage of the design and knowledge of the actual suspension is crucial.
