The automotive industry is heaviliy being driven towards weight reduction as a means of achieving ever more demanding emissions (CO2 and fuel economy) requirements. Lower weight solutions for traditional steel and aluminium chassis components are failing to deliver the step improvements required to give lighter LCVs or the required weight reductions for Hybrid Vehicle Architectures. This project focuses on the development of hybrid composite/steel material solutions; used in a optimised way to save weight via step reductions in material weight but also via reduction of parts and interfaces across a full Transit van chassis. This will be done by using some of the latest Design and Process optimisation tools available on the market today. An essential part of the project is the selection and development of a reliable, robust and cost effective composite manufacturing process since rapid, repeatible and productive processese are key to accelerate the use of composites for mass production vehicles. The aim of the project is to achieve a 37% weight saving (circa 25Kg) over the existing full steel Transit Van chassis without reducing any of the vehicles perfomance attributes

汽车行业正大力推动减重，以实现越来越苛刻的排放（CO2和燃油经济性）要求。传统钢和铝底盘部件的轻量化解决方案无法提供更轻的LCV所需的阶跃改进或混合动力车辆架构所需的重量减轻。该项目的重点是开发混合复合材料/钢材料解决方案;以优化的方式使用，通过逐步减少材料重量以及减少整个全顺货车底盘上的零件和接口来减轻重量。这将通过使用当今市场上的一些最新设计和工艺优化工具来完成。该项目的一个重要组成部分是选择和开发一种可靠、稳健和具有成本效益的复合材料制造工艺，因为快速、可重复和高生产率的工艺是加速复合材料用于大规模生产车辆的关键。该项目的目标是在不降低车辆性能属性的情况下，实现比现有全钢全顺货车底盘减轻37%的重量（约25千克
