Innovative composites in new vehicle architectures
Supply chain management and processing technologies

As you all know, the automotive industry is currently experiencing a profound transition toward a new generation of vehicles. The shift towards improved fuel economy and electromobility pushes the development of lightweight composite materials.

However, there is still a considerable number of application challenges that needs to be solved. Also, as yet supply chain management and processing technologies need to be improved considerably before the automotive industry can be supplied with sufficient high-quality, affordable materials for large scale production.

Conference Highlights:

  • Learn about new smart composite materials to assess their benefit for fuel efficient driving and the electric vehicle of the future
  • Hear about existing solutions to implementation difficulties such as crashworthiness, damage recognition, reparation and recycling to pave the way to an all composite vehicle structure
  • Gain insight into the automotive industry’s supply chain management and new processing technologies to speed up cycle times and capitalize on cost saving potential
