A new study on the latest joining methods is planned to be introduced this autumn to demonstrate the value and performance of various joining scenarios that can be applied to aluminium-intensive vehicles, as well as mixed material structures.

Findings from this study will be shared in upcoming global auto industry conferences and presented in detail at an Alumobility webinar.

The project follows the consortium’s study on aluminium door design that showcased a 45% weight savings compared to steel doors, while meeting or exceeding safety specifications and other customer performance criteria.
