Emission-free electric vehicles have been well accepted as an environmentally friendly vehicle nowadays. Electric buses are considered as potential future mass transit vehicles that have special advantages to the environment compared to conventional internal combustion engine buses. Indonesia has issued two regulations on the utilization of Electric vehicles and is currently developing a national electric bus project. Chassis design is one of the most important tasks for the vehicle designer to ensure the safety and comfort of the vehicle. Structural analysis by finite element method has been proven to numerically predict stress distribution that affects structure of vehicle chassis. This work is meant to evaluate stress distribution on chassis of Merah Putih bus due to static loading. The static analysis was performed by finite element analysis with the help of Ansys static loading solver. CAD model of actual chassis developed to represent actual chassis of Merah Putih bus. The numerical simulation results showed that maximum total deformation of 5.3957 mm was located on the rear side of the bus where the battery compartment segment is located. Maximum stress of 140 MPa observed at driveline and main frame connection which has the lowest safety factor of 1.5481. Based on these numerical simulation results, the chassis design is considered safe to be used.
