DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF AN INDIAN ARMY VEHICLE (A CAR FOR THE CIVIL AREA WARZONE)

The function of this car is to provide convenience to the soldiers in the civil area warzone. Unlike other army vehicles, this car has broad tires which works well on the road. The car has four forward gears & four reverse gears. So after firing on the target the driver has no need to waste the time in turning the vehicle. As the differential is fixed in all other vehicles but in this project we placed a modified moving differential. Which changes its position between the forward and the reverse gear drive shafts. Hence provide convenience to the gear shifting. The car has chassis less construction. i.e., the body has directly mounted on the frame of the car with the help of fasteners. The car body is made up of fiberglass, we used the approach of clay modeling in the designing of the molds and the virtual design of the car body is designed under Catia V5. The parts of the car has been taken from the junkyard, the flushed cleaned, greased or oiled , fitted , modified if needed, tested and then painted and finally assembled in the vehicle.
