VTO Workshop Report 2013: Light-Duty Vehicles Technical Requirements and Gaps for Lightweight and Propulsion Materials
The Vehicles Technologies Office (VTO) hosted a workshop on Lightweight and Propulsion Materials in March 2011 in Dearborn, Michigan. The Materials area of the VTO focuses on developing lightweight materials for structures and propulsion materials for more efficient power train systems. The purpose of this meeting was to gain industry’s perspective on the out-year material requirements of light-duty vehicles. In addition, this meeting focused on current technology gaps that contribute to delays in adoption of designs utilizing these lighter weight materials and those that improve propulsion efficiency. The industry experts who participated in this workshop included original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), tier-one suppliers, and materials suppliers to the light-duty vehicles value chain.
