Vehicle Engine Selection Strategy and Docking Design Based on Specific Space

Some influence factors such as engine performance, structural characteristics and docking situation affect the operating performance and structural safety of vehicle. However, due to lacking of systematic workflow in current vehicle manufacturers, it´s unsatisfactory for engine selection and docking. In this paper, a vehicle engine configuration procedure was systematically designed based on the integrative structure, and a comprehensive study combined with engine selection of a vehicle model and the process of docking design was made. Analysis and demonstration for the key influence factors of various stages were made by applying examples, and solutions were proposed, which provide references for the future development of new automobile samples.
