Excerpt

The constant changes in powertrain strategies and increasing emphasis on fuel economy are forcing automobile giants to make significant changes in material selection and vehicle design approaches. Lightweighting of vehicles is crucial in meeting these requirements due to the inherent relationship between mass and fuel economy. Of the several associated benefits that lightweighting brings, the most obvious is that it reduces the net fuel consumption of a vehicle. A 10 % reduction in mass, for instance, results in 5 to 8 % savings in fuel consumption. …
