Browsing: Lightweighting

Jaguar Land Rover is taking part in research trials to test the capability of advanced lightweight metals and composites to be used in future vehicles in their model ranges. As part of a two-year project, the company will use technology developed for the aerospace industry to understand how materials respond to corrosive environments, in global markets and over rigorous terrains

The Ernst Gaßner Award is an initiative by Fraunhofer LBF that recognises outstanding achievements in structural durability and exceptional contributions in the development of safety-relevant, reliable lightweight components. This year saw the Darmstadt-based institute honour two winners in a video ceremony: Dr Yung-Li Lee of FCA, and Bruno Seufert of Daimler AG
