Abstract: The system process of creating any car undergoes stages of conception, development and industrialization. The most important stage is conceptualization, which will determine the perfection and quality of the technical appearance of the final product. The most conservative and classic design process for a newly created car is based on a study of analogs. A fundamental engineering issue in the design process is the correct selection, interpretation and modeling of load conditions for cascading loads across all components of the vehicle chassis power structure. The technical appearance and design of the components of the power structure will strongly depend on the quality and quantity of the initial data when modeling the load, but the problem of reliability of loads always remains acute and relevant. In conditions where there are no initial data in the form of operational loads for a newly created car, it is possible to rely on the study of the technical appearance and design of components of analog cars. Such a study can make it possible to form load conditions and adapt their level according to the criteria of strength and durability in order to ensure that the component's power structure is no worse than that of its counterpart. As part of the demonstration of the advantages of the approach, this paper presents the process of developing the original geometry of the load-bearing levers of a mechatronic transmission of a truck based on a study of an analog design from a foreign manufacturer. The novelty of the work lies in obtaining a more advanced design of the bearing arms in terms of specific strength and durability, which forms a trend in energy efficiency. The result of this work is a general demonstration of the advantages of using the "reverse engineering" method on the example of designing the load-bearing levers of a mechatronic transmission of a truck, as well as confirmation of the adequacy and validity of the applied load modeling methods. The aim of the work is to develop design methods and gain experience in the field of computational research through the use of the "reverse engineering" method.
