Engineered a ground-up transit bus platform featuring a lightweight composite floor, engineered to support multiple powertrain variants—ICE, CNG, and EV. Utilized model-based development (MBD) simulations to generate load cases and conducted FMVSS-compliant crash and durability analyses, including rollover, roof crush, and side/rear impact scenarios.

Key Highlights :

• Unified superstructure architecture adaptable across multiple powertrain variants
• Engineered full vehicle architecture, including integration of front independent and rear axles, with structural mounting point validation
• Durability performance validated through Altoona testing standards

Crashworthiness enhancements:

• Redesigned floor-to-sidewall joint to significantly improve side impact resistance
• Enhanced rollover safety via a reengineered firewall structure
