Technology Focus: LightweightingWhile more aluminum-intensive vehicles certainly are in the cards, industry sources say the majority of future vehicles likely will use a mixture of materials that will take advantage of the specific strengths of individual materials while minimizing overall costs.
While this presents additional joining and welding challenges, automakers and suppliers are well on their way to solving these issues.
