Goals and Objectives

Suitable for an emerging market

Inexpensive to produce High fatigue safety

factor High strength capacity

Ability to handle high torque and horsepower

Lightweight Allowance for ample

clearance Should operate under

extreme conditions

GOAL: To develop an efficient transmission/gearbox design to suit the needs of the emerging market vehicle.

Constraints on Transmission

Length: 300 mm maximum Width: 350 mm maximum Height: 300 mm maximum Weight according to total weight of vehicle.
