About Advanced Lightweight Materials Summit
Reduce Weight without Compromising Safety, Performance or Cost
The Obama Administration’s 54.5 mpg CAFE standard must be met by 2025, but time is ticking away… quickly. Twelve years has never felt shorter.
Weight reduction is one of the most realistic ways to reach this goal. Studies suggest that a 10% decrease in vehicle weight results in a 6.6% increase in fuel efficiency. In fact, according to an ATG report, there is no single cost-effective technology that can accomplish 50+ MPG without significant weight reduction.
Automotive IQ and IQPC are excited to bring you the 6th Annual Advanced Lightweight Materials Summit in Detroit. The Summit aims to answer one simple but exceedingly complex question:
How can vehicles reduce weight without compromising safety, performance, sustainability or cost?
OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, material suppliers, universities and research institutions join forces at the Summit to discuss the latest lightweight materials solutions. In the hyper-competitive automotive industry, a pound saved is a dollar earned!
The 6th Advanced Lightweight Materials Summit is co-located with the 7th Innovative Seating Conference. Click here to find out about our 2 for 1 super pass and gain access to all BOTH conferences!
