Design #1

SPARTAN Suspension design team

The objective is to propose a suspension design for a SPARTAN vehicle taking into account several factors.

       Type of suspension
       Pros and Cons
       Cost (estimated)
       Number of components
       Weight
       Materials
       Complexity 

It is also necessary that the suspension manage to keep the vehicle stable under difficult climate conditions and also it is important that the car stays in the same position even when there is a slope.

Another thing to take into consideration is the fact that, if there is a problem with the brakes, we need an emergency brake. The suspension should be able to work as a brake if needed. 

Types of suspension that we took into account for our proposals.
