The Premier Forum for Automotive Lightweight Materials

Welcome to the Automotive Lightweight Materials Europe 2023 Exhibition and Conference, where innovators in lightweight materials will meet with leading automotive manufacturers in Munich, Germany, to explore the latest technologies, techniques, and innovations in lightweight materials development for the automotive industry.

To increase cost-effectiveness, efficiency, safety, and performance and for the global automotive manufacturers to compete, there is an urgent need to develop advanced materials and manufacturing technologies that reduce vehicle weight. Lightweight materials such as high-strength steel, magnesium, aluminium, and polymer composites can help OEMs create the next generation of lightweight vehicles aligning with new regulatory standards on safety, emissions, and performance.

Experts will highlight the advanced techniques, trends, and strategies in the lightweight automotive industry, advanced adhesives, and their application for joining dissimilar materials and facilitating interaction with top automotive experts, service providers, and leaders in various specialisations.

The development of automotive materials relies on the latest in research and design, manufacturing processes, and technical know-how to develop robust and reliable solutions to support the next generation of vehicles. Designing lightweight structures and applications of composite mixes will create lightweight vehicles to meet new regulatory standards on safety and emissions.

This year’s Automotive Lightweight Materials Europe 2023 event is set to become the world’s leading exhibition and conference exclusively for automotive lightweighting and materials development for automotive OEMs to meet and collaborate with a large array of industry manufacturers. In addition, the event will examine new methods and technical know-how to address the specific challenges associated with lightweighting for the next generation of vehicles.

Key topics on this year’s agenda include:

  • Lightweight materials economic outlook and industry forecasts
  • Exploring new applications and strategies for automotive lightweight production
  • Latest research in advanced materials, joining techniques, and vehicle architectures
  • New manufacturing processes and technical know-how to achieve economies of scale
  • Upcoming regulations and safety standards for the next generation of vehicles
  • End-user and manufacturer case studies and adapting to Industry 4.0

This exhibition and conference will provide a forum for all stakeholders across the automotive lightweight materials supply chain; from suppliers and service providers to equipment manufacturers for the automotive industry, to network and build cross-market relationships and to discuss the real challenges and opportunities in advanced materials and light-weighting to meet the needs of next-generation vehicles.
