With the release and implementation of National Sixth Phase Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard, we can see nowadays environmental protection, energy conservation and consumption reduction regulations are increasingly strict. Vehicle Lightweight has been an important direction, and also an inevitable trend for China’s automotive industry. After light-weighting, vehicles can not only reduce fuel consumption and air pollutants, but also can improve vehicle’s overall performance and cut production costs. For new energy vehicles, weight optimization is an effective method to improve battery mileage. 

China has made it clear that by 2020, the average fuel consumption of new passenger cars will reach 5L/100km. For passenger gasoline vehicles, the maximum fuel economy is 0.39L/100km for every 100kg reduction. Under the big pressure, vehicle lightweight is very necessary and one of the most effective ways for OEMs.

This forum will set up a main forum on Day One, and two sub-forums on Day Two (Metal Materials and Non-Metal Materials). The conference will closely follow the latest industry trends, share innovative light-weighting technologies and valuable practice cases with all participants. Key contents will include automotive lightweight regulations & policies, lightweight materials, structures lightweight design and manufacturing process.

The meeting platform aims to gather outstanding industry insiders from all over the world, exploring the best vehicle lightweight solutions and seeking new corporation opportunities for all attendees. We will work together to build core competitiveness of China’s automotive lightweight market, and promote the high-speed and sustainable development of this industry.
