What are the methods for automotive lightweighting?
1 Answers
To achieve automotive lightweighting, there are mainly three approaches: the application of high-strength and lightweight materials; optimization of lightweight design for the body structure; and optimization of lightweight design for the body structure. 1. Introduction to lightweighting: Automotive lightweighting refers to reducing the vehicle's curb weight as much as possible while ensuring its strength and safety performance, thereby improving the vehicle's power performance, reducing fuel consumption, and lowering exhaust emissions. 2. Implementation methods: Lightweighting is also a standard for future societal development. Material lightweighting is generally achieved by using lightweight metals and non-metallic materials, primarily including engineering plastics and various composite materials. Currently, material lightweighting in the automotive industry has become a trend.
