Frame chassis is the backbone of any vehicle, which supports all the mechanical and electrical components. Various types of frame chassis are used based on the vehicle application and purpose. The most commonly used types of frame chassis in the automotive industry are ladder chassis, tubular chassis, space frame chassis, monocoque chassis, and unibody chassis. Ladder chassis is the simplest and the most commonly used type, designed with two parallel longitudinal rails interconnected by cross members. Tubular chassis is a lightweight and strong frame designed for high-performance vehicles. Space frame chassis is more complex and consists of a series of small interconnected frames. Monocoque chassis and unibody chassis are mainly used in modern cars that integrate the structure into the body. The type of frame chassis used in a vehicle impacts the handling, ride quality, and overall performance of the vehicle.
