Research on the Development and Application of Lightweight Automotive Materials

Abstract

Abstract With the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, mobility tools have also evolved from walking and cycling to today’s private cars. The rapid increase in the number of private cars has caused China’s energy consumption to increase. China does not have sufficient energy resources. In order to alleviate the pressure on energy, the energy conservation and emission reduction of automobiles must be paid attention to. There are many ways to save energy and reduce emissions of automobiles. One of them is to reduce the weight of the car. Once the weight of the car is reduced, the amount of energy consumed will be reduced, thereby achieving the goal of energy conservation. Based on this, this article focuses on the use of lightweight materials in current automotive materials, and introduces a variety of lightweight materials in detail to help cars reduce weight, reduce energy consumption, and achieve sustainable development in the automotive industry.
