SuperLIGHT-CAR: lightly towards the car of the future

22 July 2009

For four years, 37 leading partners in research and in the vehicle and component supply industries –“ from nine European countries –“ have been working on lightweight car frames for the clean cars of the future in the EU ’SuperLIGHT-CAR’ (SLC) project. Recently, the participants presented their results at the concluding conference and, at the same time, unveiled a prototype of the new lightweight frame. With the front-end structure, which achieves a weight saving of more than 30%, the German Aerospace Centre (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) made a significant contribution to the overall concept.
