Automotive body panels such as
bumpers, hoods, door panels, roof, and trunk lids are manufactured using
lightweight materials such as high-strength steel, aluminium, magnesium, and
polymers and composites in order to provide desired strength with reduced
weight. Lightweight automotive body panels help improve fuel economy and
performance of vehicles by reducing the overall weight of the vehicle. About
25% reduction in automobile weight saves 3.5 to 5.0 tonnes of greenhouse gas
emissions over the lifetime of an average car. Manufacturers today are adopting
lightweight body panels in vehicles in order to comply with government
regulations pertaining to greenhouse gas emissions.
