The paper presents a static stresses and deformation analysis of a rolling chassis, designed and developed to equip the laboratory of "Computation and construction of road vehicles" in the Faculty of Engineering of Hunedoara. The elements of rolling chassis belonged to a car chassis Renault Clio II damaged, steering elements belonging to a Ford Mondeo car and elastic elements are specific of Dacia Logan suspension. These items were placed on a structure made of resistance profiles, conveniently located to obtain a rigid assembly. The rolling chassis is an original conception, unitary approach allows a consistent set of laboratory work together in terms of design and use. Static analysis of structural strength of the rolling chassis was made using Catia V5 design software. The purpose of this analysis is to estimate the limits of resistance of the strenght structure of the rolling chassis for know the possibilities of locating the other units, to extend the experimental function of the chassis.
