LightweightingAcross all vehicle classes
� Entertainment, comfort & safety features all increase vehicle weight
� 10% weight reduction improves fuel efficiency by estimated 6-8%
� Polymers make up 50% vehicle volume, but only 10% vehicle weight.
� Latest CFRP further reduce part weight by 70%
Challenges:
� Weight reduction without negative effect on performance, safety and cost.
� Metal replacement, as well as density reduction and thickness optimization of existing plastic parts
� Noise-Vibration-Harshness (NVH) considerations
� High Modulus / High Flow materials for thinwallcomponents, including CF Polyamide and composites
� Plastic Metal Hybrid for lighter components: Cross car beam, Front End Modules,
� All plastic composite components
