Abstract

The article reports on the focus on hybrid structures by automotive designers in Germany to reduce weight as of December 2014. Topics discussed include the need for a sound multimaterial mix that will allow new mass production methods for market success, and Volkswagen's formation of the Open Hybrid LABfactory for developing a material of hybrid plastic, metal and high-performance fibers in a single production. Also mentioned are the facility's ProVor, Trophy, and Multi-MaK research programs.
