Abstract: This study aims to design of an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) in accordance with the SAE BAJA 2014 rule book. A detailed designing of components is carried out like Roll cage, Suspensions & Braking mechanism. The main focus of our was on Safety of driver & Stability of vehicle. Roll cage of our vehicle is designed in such a way that in case of rolling of vehicle (mostly occurs in high speed turns & off roading) that it will provide double the strength to the roll cage with also considering the Aesthetic of the cage. International standards are followed by us where ever possible and an extensive market survey is also done. Finite Element Analysis is carried out on roll cage & braking mechanism for optimum safety & reliability of the vehicle. Engine the heart of an automobile is installed in such a way that it can perform well for an extensive time on any terrain.
Keywords: Cooling duct, Ergonomics, Finite element Analysis & Von misses stress.
