Power to weight ratio : PWR Power-to-weight ratio is a measurement of actual performance of any engine or power source. It is also used as a measurement of performance of a vehicle as a whole, with the engine's power output being divided by the weight (or mass) of the vehicle, to give a metric that is independent of the vehicle's size. It is defined as per requirement of vehicle performance. It can be defined in terms of (in SI Units) HP/Tonne Kw/Tonne Kw/Kg Example Engine Power= 350 Hp Vehicle GVW=18000 Kg= 18 Tonne PWR= HP/Tonne 350/18= 19.5 Article Contribution by Sandeep Bhasme.
Wheel slip Condition based based on Tractive effort. To determine wheel slip condition we will need to compare Tractive Effort due to Ground adhesion vs Tractive effort produced due to power train aggregates. TEGA = Tractive Effort due to Ground adhesion TE= T ractive effort produced due to power train aggregates. condition: TEGA > TE ; No slip TEGA < TE ; wheel will slip - Not favorable condition for design .

Vehicle Speed calculation By using Prescribed method you will be able to find vehicle speed at any Gear you will need to have these inputs to perform the calculation: 1) Engine RPM (N)=2500 2) Tyre revolution/Km (M)=398 3) Total reduction of power train (Rg)=14.3856:1 vehicle Speed formula is given by V =Vehicle Speed in Km/hr. V= (N X 60) / ( M x Rg) =(2500 x 60)/(398 x 14.38) =26.19 Kmph
