This study was conducted to examine the structural stability of a lightweight structure for a sliding-type battery rack system located under an electric bus. To address the shortcomings of the existing sliding battery rack systems, the battery rack system was designed by applying lightweight materials and utilizing a bolt-mounting connection type. Finite Element Method(FEM)-based structural analysis was performed, considering both the system’s self-weight and the weight of the installed batteries. The analysis identified the maximum stress value and its location within the entire system. Furthermore, considering the different materials used in various components, the maximum stress values for each component were individually derived. By comparing the maximum stress with the yield strength of each material, it was confirmed that the designed lightweight battery rack system had secured structural stability.
