Lightweighting

An important industrial development at present is lightweighting, or the reduction of weight of a structure or fabricated product to minimise the amount of material used whilst retaining the integrity of a structure, and where appropriate reducing emissions.

WorldAutoSteel offers information on the use of steel in automobiles, and included is information on the work done under the Ultra Light Steel Auto Body (ULSAB), and Ultra Light Steel Auto Closures (ULSAC) programmes, and includes a video on the potential for vehicle lightweighting , comparing aluminium with advanced high strength steels.

U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy, Vehicle Technologies Program includes a variety of items, such as conference listings and proceedings, publications, plans and roadmaps, newsletters and annual progress reports such as Lightweighting Materials.
