Now a days most of the peoples are using public transport. The main mode of public transport in our country is bus. The availability and price of the fuel are making the public transport to be inefficient and we get only 40% of overall efficiency from any vehicle. It is mainly due to friction. But, friction plays the major role in the stability of the bus. However, we can reduce some unwanted friction like drag and so on., Our main target is to reduce the drag force and to increase the fuel efficiency, which can be done by choosing the best aerodynamic design of the exterior of the bus.The prototype of the bus body has been modelled by modelling software and CFD analysis is done by using analysis software (ANSYS)and it is remodeled to reduce the drag force. These models are named as model 1 and model 2. Model 1 is existing Volvo intercity 9400 bus model and model 2 is modification of existing Volvo intercity 9400 bus. Model 2 is to modify and analyse by using CFD to reduce the drag force, which results in increased performance and reduced fuel requirement.
