The projects aims at replacing the conventionaldrive shaft with composite drive shaft which will provide usthe better mechanical properties i.e (Torque transmittingcapacity, and fatigue life of the shaft).The research paper willinclude the comparison of these properties of conventionalsteel shaft with the composite drive shaft .The drive shaftselected is applicable to TATA 407 pick up vehicle which is atpresent using the conventional steel drive shaft. Our main aimis to show that the fatigue life of composite drive shaft is muchbetter than conventional steel drive shaft.
