What is the Function of a Car Chassis?
1 Answers
The function of a car chassis is to support and install the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car. It also receives the power from the engine, enabling the car to move and ensuring normal operation. Below is more information about car chassis: 1. The car chassis should be no less than 140mm in height because urban traffic congestion is severe, and the engine cooling system requires special design. Otherwise, it may easily cause "boiling." Most European passenger cars have a chassis height between 100mm and 140mm, while most Japanese and Korean passenger cars range between 140mm and 180mm. Generally, off-road vehicles have a chassis height between 180mm and 220mm. 2. A lower car chassis means it is closer to the ground. The most obvious benefit of a lower chassis is greater stability at high speeds. During driving, the car is affected by wind resistance. The lower the chassis, the smaller the gap between the car and the ground. At high speeds, airflow mainly passes over the top of the car, and the pressure generated by the airflow on the top can push the car toward the ground, enhancing tire grip and making driving more stable. 3. A higher chassis provides better off-road capability, allowing it to adapt to most road conditions. This reduces concerns about damage from stones or rough road surfaces impacting the chassis.
