This paper presents the problem of the body of the vehicle that was designed previously to be competing in the Shell Eco-Marathon competition. The vehicle has difficulties delivering air to the engine bay to help to maintain the temperature of the engine. Side-pods are designed using CATIA software in four different locations on the side of the vehicle, in front of the rear wheel, above the rear wheel, at the front bottom of the rear wheel and the rear top corner of the vehicle. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed using ANSYS for the four designs to find which design is appropriate in terms of airflow reaching the engine bay. Out of the four designs, it was determined that the side-pod located in front of the rear wheel showed that there is airflow reaching the engine bay, and resulted in the lowest drag coefficient.
