The goal of designing a BAJA vehicle is to facilitate the driver with an ATV that guarantees safety, dynamic
stability, precise response to driver’s efforts and sustainability in long term. The main objective of the drivetrain of a
baja buggy is to provide consistent and reliable power to the wheels to tackle harsh terrain. This paper focuses on the
selection, design and fabrication of transmission system of Baja Buggy. The design and FEA of component are
inseparable aspects. The analysis provided clear understanding on projected stresses and possible failure locations. This
allowed team to consider new techniques and adjustments in design to lower the possibility of failure. This marks the
efforts put in CAE of multiple components on vehicle. The report also focuses on optimisation done to ensure proper use
of resources and removing any cost adding wastage
