Improving Fuel Efficiency with Cost-Effective Materials and Technologies

Do you Know?

  • China's vehicle sales grew 32.4% to 18.06 million in 2010
  • Global automotive lightweight material market earned revenue of 38 billion in 2010
  • This segment is expected to reach $95 billion in 2017
  • 2025 CAFE target in US is set at 54.5 miles per gallon

Driven by stricter emission standards and tightened fuel-efficiency policies, automotive OEMs in China have no other choice than spending more efforts on exploring advanced materials and technologies that can help reduce vehicle weight and meet these requirements.

In the global automotive industry, the use of lightweight, high-performance materials is set to transform industry by improving fuel economy while maintaining safety. Most of the international OEM brands have achieved significant results. Their focus has been on evaluating and applying advanced materials including high-strength steel, aluminum, magnesium and high-performance polymers into popular models that have improved performance and cost structure greatly.

Having successfully organised automotive conferences in the US and Europe to explore these top notch technologies and best practices, Automotive IQ is delighted to bring this international platform to China. In addition, you will expect to meet with the Chinese leading automotive brands and JVs, as well as the international experts when they gather at Automotive Lightweight Materials 2012.
