With increasing competition and number of global players entering the Indian market, the Indian tractor scenario is as hot and fluid as that of the passenger car. Tractor manufacturers are under tremendous market pressure to become internationally competitive and bring out new tractor models in the shortest time possible as well as keeping the validation costs to a minimum. This is making them to look for advanced techniques for reducing the development time such as service load data acquisition and analysis, life prediction and accelerated simulation tests for design validation. This paper presents such an effort by an Indian tractor manufacturer along with ARAL Design validation of the chassis was carried out as a complete structure instead of carrying out on individual components.
