3rd Executive Summit

COST- AND RESOURCE-EFFICIENT LIGHTWEIGHTING FOR HOT FORMED AUTOMOTIVE PARTS

In 2022, India became fourth largest country in the world by valuation of automotive industry. As of 2022, India is the 3rd largest automobile market in the world, surpassing Japan, and Germany in terms of sales. Increased emissions standard Bharat Stage 6 (BS6), electrification, safety concerns, all add up to weight and cost of the vehicles. Additional weight also causes higher gas and energy consumption…

Cost- and resource-efficient lightweighting could be a solution to all these problems. If vehicles could be built lighter, safer and in a more cost- and resource-effective manner, both the demand and the profitability could be increased. In the meantime, the hot forming of metallic blanks has become a key technology that practically no automobile manufacturer can ignore.

At the 2 days “3rd Executive Summit – Cost- and Resource-Efficient Lightweighting for Hot Formed Automotive Parts” on May 9th – 10th, 2023, we will be discussing the new trends with speakers and participants from all over the spectrum. Our speakers range from raw materials suppliers to the OEM’s and any link of the supply chain. As automotive world and supply chain is changing at a very high pace, it is essential to keep up with both the technological and business aspects.

Come to network & socialize and hear about the latest research. On the first day, you will learn from very exclusive presenters, expand knowledge, and find solutions to problems in your daily business. Meet specialist within their focus, learn beyond own field or interest and engage in high-level debates during the workshops, on the second day.
