Lightweight parts with load and function-optimized
material usage
Implementation of Idea / Targets / Benefits:
Flexible Cold-Rolling Process
Flat material with repeated, varying thickness runs
and harmonious transition zones
An increased number of thickness zones for an
optimized TRB solution results in minimal
lightweight cost
Targets / Benefits:
Weight Reduction
Part Integration
Functional Improvement
Objective
Weight and function optimization
Innovation
Welded assembly body structure with
single-layered flanges in combination
with TRB ®
Advantages
Weight reduction of up to 16%
Improved connectivity to body
structure due to single-layered flange
Highly efficient solution due to
building closed section (like tubes)
while improving performance
Status
Serial development
.
Objective
Weight and function optimization
Innovation
