With the continuous iteration of automotive industry technology and the advanced development of new materials, new structures and new processes, vehicle lightweight has become one of the important indicators to measure the level of automobile design and manufacturing. Automobile lightweight is an effective measure to reduce emissions and improve combustion efficiency, and it is also the main direction for the development of automobile materials. New Energy Automobile Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)" "Energy-saving and New Energy Vehicle Technology Roadmap 2.0" also lists automobile lightweight as a key development direction of the automotive industry. Lightweight design is of great significance to automobile energy saving and emission reduction, improving performance, and promoting the overall progress of automobile industry technology.

 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, manufacturing process, and etc. 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 competiveness of China’s automotive lightweight market, and promote the high-speed and sustainable development of this industry.

This summit will take place onsite and online.
