J.D. Power & Associates Survey Ranked Stability Control among Top

10 Desired Features

Driving Intelligence

ESC Helps Save Lives

Recent study by Mercedes indicates Electronic Stability Control can reduce single vehicle crashes by 30%

• 30% reduction in the U.S. could save more than 5,000 lives

Same Mercedes study indicated total crashes for vehicles equipped with Electronic Stability Control were reduced by 15%

• Would save American public almost $35 billion

• Would pay for the cost of installing Electronic Stability Control on all vehicles built in the U.S. some 7-9 times

Driving Intelligence

Bottom Line in the Mercedes Study:

There was a clear drop in the accident rate after

standard installation of electronic stability control

Driving Intelligence

- In Japan -

• Toyota Study shows 35% reduction in single-vehicle crashes: could save more than 6,000 lives a year

• 30% reduction in head-on crashes could save another 2,500 lives per year

• 50% reduction for more severe accidents• Confirms Mercedes conclusion that electronic

stability control is more effective in the higher speed ranges where vehicle dynamics play a greater part and where crashes that do occur are more severe

Electronic Stability Control Helps Drivers Avoid Crashes

Driving Intelligence

- In Sweden -

Swedish National Road Administration Study:

• Electronic stability control found to reduce accidents with personal injuries

• Electronic stability control should be implemented in new cars ASAP

• Consumers should be advised to choose cars with electronic stability control, especially in countries with wet and icy roads

Electronic Stability Control Recommended For All New Vehicles

Driving Intelligence

• With fatalities overcoming the safety gains from seat belts and air bags (both passive systems), it’s now the critical time for the industry to embrace ACTIVE safety systems like electronic stability control. Using proven technology to save lives is a necessity

Are We Ready?

Driving Intelligence

Active Vehicle Safety Saves Lives• We are the frontier of a revolution in active vehicle safety

• Technology to save lives, help prevent rollovers and reduce crashes is here today – ESC

• Electronic stability control is as important to safety as airbags, ABS or seatbelts

• Several recent independent studies from Europe and Asia prove electronic stability control saves lives and reduces crashes and their severity

• Electronic stability control helps avoid crashes before they happen

• Actively preventing accidents significantly reduces the number of injuries and will save thousands of lives annually

• This proven technology is available to the North American driving public today, but most consumers are still unaware it exists

Some Background...Cars at first were built entirely of wood, and later of wood frames with steel body panels.

In the early 1900’s, the idea of a body-on-frame design came about.

Moving Forward...

Heavy-duty vehicles like trucks and busses still use the idea of body-on-frame.

Regardless of the construction technique, steel is still the predominant material used in automotive frames.

Today, most smaller Today, most smaller vehicles such as small vehicles such as small SUV’s and sedans use a SUV’s and sedans use a unibody (or monocoque) unibody (or monocoque) construction.construction.

What it’s all AboutToday, the new revolution in car design is the use of new materials in the vehicle structure.

As fuel economy restrictions become tighter, manufacturers must find new ways to meet them.

This has led them away from using so much steel in the vehicles, and more and more are moving towards aluminum.

The central theme of our project was to compare The central theme of our project was to compare these new lightweight aluminum cars to their these new lightweight aluminum cars to their steel predecessors and see if anything is being steel predecessors and see if anything is being sacrificed and/or gained.sacrificed and/or gained.

Properties

Density of Steel: 7.88 g/cm3

Density of Aluminum: 2.7 g/cm3

Aluminum is about 3 times lighter than steel per unit volume, but can be made just as strong using certain alloys/shapes/bonding methods.

Because of this, AL parts can be thicker, and thus stronger, than their steel counterparts, all while weighing less.

Driving Intelligence

The Cost IssueWhile Al may seem like a miracle metal for car production, there is a reason not all cars are made from Al... It costs a lot more than Steel.

Driving Intelligence

The Move to AluminumThe first production vehicle to move to an Al frame was the Audi A8 in 1994.

This allowed Audi to make their full-size car lighter than the competitions (BMW, Mercedes,Lexus...), thus giving them the edge in performance & handling.

This comes at a price premium though, for instance compared to a Lexus LS460 (Steel framed) which costs around $65,000. The A8 starts at $75,000

WeightThe most obvious advantage to using aluminum in place of steel in cars is aluminum weighs less.

SafetyNot too many safety tests have been performed on Al framed vehicles due to their usually higher price.

However, the Audi A2 is an inexpensive compact car that has been tested, and received overall favorable reviews compared to its steel bodies counterparts.

Driving Intelligence

Some other advantages...There are some manufacturing methods that can only be done with aluminum, such as extrusions.

These extrusions allows the Al Space Frame to have about half the amount of parts as a traditional steel monocoque.

Because of all this, Al is already a cheaper material to use for low volume production cars (under 100,000 units a year or so).

Driving Intelligence

A Few Other Facts...

Today, the average car contains about 200 pounds of aluminum parts.

Aluminum space frames (like that from Audi), contain fewer parts and fewer connection nodes, which helps keep production costs lower.

Driving Intelligence

In The FutureWhile Aluminum may be the wave of the future for now, some exotic car companies are already looking ahead to composite materials.

Take for example Porsche Carrera GT, which used a completely Carbon-Fiber monocoque construction in addition to Carbon-Fiber body panels.

Because of this, the curb weight of the car was only 3000 lbs., even with a 5.7L V-10 engine powering it.
