As the world transitions to electric vehicles, automobile manufacturers can benefit from the advantages of using aluminum for every body part. To demonstrate this fact, utilizing a ‘Less is More’ strategy, Alumobility’s engineers worked with Hyundai Motor Europe’s Technical Center to conduct a theoretical conversion of the Genesis GV70 EV SUV steel intensive body to a full aluminum body.
Highlights
- 40% weight saving against the steel reference parts
- 25% reduction in total spot joint count versus the steel reference
- 15% reduction in part count versus the steel reference
