To remain competitive, automotive manufacturers are reevaluating advanced lightweight materials in the structure of the car. Researchers are identifying lightweight, high-strength materials and materials processing technologies that can contribute cost-effectively to reducing the weight of the passenger vehicle, commercial vehicles, and machines while maintaining functionality, durability, reliability, and safety. Automakers will focus on more user-friendly and low-cost vehicles that are the most advanced technologically while catering to mature and emerging markets.

The national focus on energy is impacting consumer purchasing decisions for automobiles and driving automakers to reduce vehicle weight for fuel efficiency which is a key leverage point over comfort and size. Pressure is increasing for automakers to further improve fuel economy while meeting consumer needs and safety standards.

The 4th Annual Advanced Lightweight Materials Summit is a chance to learn from your peers about strategies and research they’re using to achieve their top business goals. This conference is co-located with the 5th Innovative Seating Conference and IDGA’s Military Vehicle Conference & Exhibition. You are invited to walk the exhibition floor packed with military vehicle technologies and solutions.
