Abstract

Nowadays the sustainability of surface transport requires continual innovation. This must be realized simultaneously in several areas such as traffic control, transport networks control, and the development of the vehicles. To former network design, computer control systems development, as well as statutory and economic regulatory systems are required. Exhaust gases emissions is a main air pollutant and has to be considered in vehicle development. On the efficiency of the internal combustion engines occurring combustion processes does not quite possible to improve significantly. For using electrical vehicle one needs to have appropriate infrastructures i.e. electric charger. However it is clear that with the reducing the mass of vehicles significantly the emissions is reduced. Further advantages of the mass reduction the vehicle dynamic parameters are improvements its examination we are dealing with. The  motivation this study’s to show how a suspension mass reduction affects on vehicle dynamic. For the optimization the initial mass of suspension was reduced approx. by 40%. Decreasing the suspension’s mass shows the vehicle’s vibration is improved.
