Automotive lightweighting is primarily achieved through the adoption of new materials, new processes, and optimized structural designs. Its classification is mainly based on the technologies and methods used. In the 1970s, after the first oil crisis, automotive lightweighting began to be taken seriously as manufacturers sought to reduce vehicle weight to improve fuel efficiency. From 2020 to the present day, automotive lightweighting has been involved in all aspects of the entire vehicle, including the body, chassis, powertrain, etc. Additionally, the wave of electrification has brought new challenges and opportunities for lightweighting, especially in the design and material selection of battery packs. The upstream area of automotive lightweighting mainly includes the production and supply of lightweight materials, such as high-strength steels, aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, and carbon fiber composites. These material suppliers usually work closely with automotive component manufacturers to develop high-performance materials suitable for automotive lightweighting. The downstream application industries of automotive lightweighting are extensive, covering the entire automotive manufacturing industry. From body structure, chassis, powertrain to interior and exterior components, the application of lightweighting technology can be seen. In addition, automotive lightweighting also involves a number of related fields, such as aerospace, rail transportation, new energy, and so on. #Lightweight #LightweightAsia2024 #automotivelightweighting To learn more about the market trends, stay tuned to Lightweight Asia 2024 Date: 03-05 July 2024 Venue: Shanghai New International Expo Center  Learn more：https://lnkd.in/gid2RGSb

Today, I had the opportunity to speak at our workers' meeting in our Wolfsburg plant, and I want to share some of the key messages with you all. We have first class products in the market and we have renewed many of them this year, especially at Volkswagen brand. However, we’ve been spending more money than we’ve been making within VW brand for some time. This is not sustainable. Continuing down this path will prevent us from successfully navigating the transformation. It is our shared responsibility to improve the cost efficiency of our German plants. We must increase productivity and reduce costs. We have one, maybe two years to turn the tide. Simultaneously, we need to reduce the complexity of our operations and leverage even more synergies within the Volkswagen Group. This road will take us back to our roots, back to what made us successful. For me, the Volkswagen brand has always stood for three things: ▶ First-class products—products that surpass the competition, decade after decade. ▶ Uncompromising quality. ▶ Affordable prices. This is how Volkswagen became the most successful brand in Europe. Affordable, competitive prices can only be offered if we have competitive costs. This is something we must and – I am certain - will collectively work on achieving again. This is our shared responsibility.

Possible scenario for VW facility cuts – where "Lower" plays a "Higher" role - #Osnabrück and #Emden, which were possible cut targets, could stay due to their Lower Saxony origins. Gunnar Kilian was in Osnabrück a few weeks ago, essentially saying we've got your back. - #Dresden, which will only help a bit, is most likely at the top of the list due to its low-hanging fruit nature and a current cash drain. - #Zwicaku, despite recent investments, converting it from an ICE to a BEV-only facility could also go, given it is in Saxony and not Lower Saxony. A possible deal to hand control to VW's Chinese partner SAIC, which is the parent company of MG, would also not be out of the question and could explain MG's reluctance to announce any investments in Europe so far, while others such as Chery and BYD have been. A gesture like that would also play well with the Chinese in a market that is hugely important to the Germans and where they have been struggling of late. Taking Brussels, Dresden and Zwicaku out of the game would reduce capacity by around 0.5 million units and increase utilisation rates at the core Group plants such as WOB and Ingolstadt.
