India’s leading brand Mahindra and Mahindra has recently launched its flagship seven-seater SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) named XUV 700 with resounding success and market response. The chassis of XUV 700 was developed in collaboration with IDIADA with the objective of achieving world-class driving dynamics in terms of steering, handling, stability and ride comfort. In addition to that, Mahindra wanted to streamline the development process, freezing most of the suspension hard points and specifications only based on simulation to ensure that the physical testing could be really dedicated to fine tuning with few short lead time components. The new and innovative development process required to apply a strongly CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) oriented approach and a seamless integration between the virtual and the physical development.
