Abstract
In this study, the vehicle suspension system design and analysis procedure have been proposed for the Light-weight Electric Vehicles. The objective for the suspension design is quick handling and stably riding performance with LEV system. The contents include the suspension design and mechanical dynamic simulation. In the vehicle quasi-static test simulation, the suspension parameters were compared with new model LEV_2 and the mule car model LEV_1. Through mechanical dynamic simulation, the suspension parameters have been clearly discussed and improved with camber angle change, toe angle change, caster angle change and roll center height change.
