Abstract

Weight reductions through alternative designs of passenger car chassis are given a particular timeliness: Initiatives of the automobile manufacturers on emission reductions and vehicle concepts - such as the electric car - require new, lighter chassis. Different approaches by the systems supplier ZF Friedrichshafen show that many measures are needed for lightweight chassis design.
