Global Automotive Lightweight Materials 2012

Designing and manufacturing a commercially viable lightweight vehicle, whilst maintaining structural performance, remains a top priority for the automotive industry, as they battle to meet stringent carbon emissions targets and fulfill consumer demands for highly fuel efficient vehicles. However, significant cost barriers remain across the advanced lightweight materials cycle from procurement and manufacturing processes to end of life recycling. Clearly tackling these costs will be key to mass-market application, in tandem with resolving the remaining technical challenges to ensure optimal part performance. At the Global Automotive Lightweight Materials Initiative 2012 you will be able to join the lightweighting community to benchmark your gram strategy, examine best practices and discover innovative, commercially viable solutions for sourcing, integrating and manufacturing advanced lightweight materials. This is your opportunity to find out actual results being delivered in weight savings, amongst a backdrop of candid debate on collaborative opportunities to enable widespread adoption of advanced lightweight materials and finding the most feasible routes to achieving scale.
