The market for advanced, high-strength metals & polymers are forecasted for exponential growth through 2020 as a result of the influx in spending and commitment from automotive companies toward light-weighting in their vehicle product lines. As an industry professional you know better than anyone that the stringent regulations being implemented by NHTSA are not going to be met without significant investment of time, money and ingenuity.

By utilizing the combined knowledge of your industry peers the groups in your organization that are tasked with meeting the CAFÉ objectives and maintaining compliance will be far better equipped to face this task long-term and elevate your company above the competition. The advancement in light-weighting strategy is seemingly divided into several sub-segments including: · Advanced light-weight metals · Engineered thermoplastics · Thermosetting composites · High-performance polymers · Advanced joining & assembly practices · Developing technologies for vehicle design

verification and material optimization

With the automotive materials market earned revenues of $38 billion in 2010 and an estimated rise to $95.34 billion in 2017, driven by the need to conform to these CAFE standards, the time to act is clearly now so as to ensure that investment does not go for naught.

To address the significant advancement in this field the 7th Annual Advancements in Automotive Light-Weighting Summit will bring together the select group of professionals from domestic and international automotive: · OEMs · Tier 1s · Material Manufacturers · Research Laboratories · Government Agencies

to discuss the next steps for the advancement of light-weighting strategy. Join us this May 18-20, 2015 in Detroit, MI to engage in a next-level industry discussion on the road ahead for lightweight strategy, investment and ingenuity.

Cheers,

John O’Connor Program Director Automotive IQ
