Reducing the number of individual parts within an automotive body structure, through part integration, can yield further cost, weight, and sustainability benefits without compromising performance.| AHSS Guidelines
Key materials characteristics for formed parts include strength, thickness, and corrosion protection. Tailored products provide opportunities to place these attributes where they are most needed for part function, and remove weight that does not contribute to part performance.| AHSS Guidelines
The WorldAutoSteel Steel E-Motive program has been moving along now for nearly a year, and we’d like to share an update with you, our engineering colleagues, on some of the design decisions we’re facing. If you recall, the Steel E-Motive program is designing vehicle concepts for Mobility as a Service (MaaS), characterized by autonomous, electric, ride sharing vehicles.| AHSS Guidelines
The Steel E-Motive autonomous vehicle program–commissioned by WorldAutoSteel in partnership with Ricardo plc–has developed the world’s first fully autonomous electric vehicle body structure concept purpose-fit for ride-sharing. This global steel industry initiative showcases the strength and durability of steel with an eye on playing a pivotal role in reaching net zero emissions targets.| AHSS Guidelines
WorldAutoSteel’s global automotive steel suppliers have conducted extensive research that illuminates a path forward for future mobility. The Steel E-Motive concept – borne of this research – can be a catalyst for reaching the Net Zero goal.| AHSS Guidelines
This month's blog (on the Steel E-Motive site) concentrates on the unique closure design developed for Steel E-Motive. A B-Pillar integrated configuration (red component on the right side door in the animation below), which specifies Advanced High-Strength Steels in the A- and B-Pillars.| AHSS Guidelines
Autonomous Vehicle Safety is addressed by Steel E-Motive, one of the first robotaxis to fully detail and report compliance to global high-speed safety standards. In developing Steel E-Motive, we targeted conformity with seven US crash standards, including US NCAP (New Car Assessment Program) IIHS and FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) front, side, and rear impact tests while also assessing performance against worldwide protocols, including NHTSA (US) Euro NCAP (European) and China...| AHSS Guidelines
