Altair, a global technology provider of solutions for product development, high-performance computing and data analytics, is pleased to announce that entries are invited to the 2020 Altair Enlighten Awards. The 8th Annual Enlighten Awards are presented jointly with the Center for Automotive Research (CAR).
In just seven months, several industrial partners developed a feasibility study for an ultralight seat. Not only the most modern technologies were required to this end, but also faster working methods. The result is a hardware prototype for the interior of the future.
Lightweight construction generally pays off because more weight always equals higher energy consumption. Lightweight construction can also be inexpensive and improve competitiveness.
The study "Lightweight construction as a driver of innovation" provides arguments to underpin that lightweight construction can be inexpensive, improve competitiveness and significantly increase benefits for the end customer.
Is it possible to build low-cost lightweight cars? Why do solutions fail? The market study "Lightweight construction as a driver of innovation" provides answers. In an interview, the creators of the study spoke with "Automotive Industry".
