Technology Focus: LightweightingThere is a lot more to vehicle lightweighting than epic battles between steel, aluminum and carbon fiber for the keys to the body-in-white castle.
WardsAuto Director of Content Drew Winter gives a quick history of lightweight materials in the automotive industry from the 1970s to the present and then takes a look at some of the unsung heroes in the automotive weight-loss battle:
- New ways of making lighter sound insulation and leather upholstery
- How Ford used clever engineering and plastic composites to replace an expensive magnesium part on the new Ford F-250 pickup
- The new carbon-fiber hatch on the Toyota Prius Prime plug-in hybrid
- And much more
If your company is relying on emerging lightweighting technologies to help you meet regulations, or if you are involved in the development or production of these innovations, you can't afford to miss Drew Winter's assessment on the state of lightweighting across the industry. Register now
