Summary:

Currently automotive sector is facing bi-fold challenge of lightweighting and cost reduction. As end-customer is getting morefocused on total cost of ownership, it is need of time that lightweighting and cost reduction goes hand in hand. Presently lightweight materials such as magnesium, aluminum and composites areused but often this impact towards cost increase. In present study,a novel approach has been followed which not only focus on lightweighting but also integrate design functions of two enginesystems. The new system has been design to focus on low cost, lightweight, NVH friendly and low development time. In design phase,function of two engine systems id est engine cover and Air filterwere integrated followed by structural analysis. In final phase ofthis project, the experimental component was developed andvalidated for its intended function. In this study, current sheetmetal design engine cover has been converted in to Thermoplasticcover with integrated Air filter. The complete engine cover withintegrated air filter design has been validated at Test bed andVehicle level for durability, performance, leakages, NVH. At endresults were analyzed and compared. Results indicates that newdesign is a better solution over the existing design. The studydemonstrates that this novel approach of light weighting and designfunction integration can achieve better performance while providingsubstantial cost saving and weight reduction
