Dear Colleague,

Would you like to understand how to cost-effectively source, integrate and manufacture lightweight metallic and composite materials into vehicle systems?

If so, we invite you to join us at Global Automotive Lightweight Materials 2012 where BMW, Audi, McLaren, Jaguar Land Rover, TATA Motors, Bugatti, Fiat Auto, Ford and many more will provide you with best practice experiences and their approach to tackling the challenges of sourcing, integrating and manufacturing lightweight materials to deliver improved fuel economy.

Clearly lightweight materials will be a signi!cant factor in meeting increasingly stringent carbon emission regulations, providing customers with improved MPG fuel economy and boosting vehicle OEM gram strategies.

With joint ventures formed by BMW & SGL, Audi & Voith and Daimler & Toray, arguably the world leaders in vehicle lightweighting, it seems adoption of advanced metallic and composite materials is set to dramatically increase. Of course though, it is widely recognized that key challenges of both cost and performance must be tackled to achieve the levels of scalability required for mass market application.

Day One of Global Automotive Lightweight Materials 2012, through a comprehensive case study analysis, will benchmark current approaches and identify remaining barriers through a per material cost bene!t analysis managing the trade offs between cost, performance and weight before welcoming Material Suppliers to examine the central concern of enabling a harmonized global supply chain, supporting you in !nding pragmatic, cost-justi!ed solutions to achieving scalability.

Day two will showcase the latest developments from research & development institutions to aid stakeholder collaboration and following that, you will witness key vehicle OEMs analysing manufacturing infrastructure concerns, the labour intensive forming and tooling processes and joining of dissimilar materials before closing discussions with the crucial topic of examining how to decrease energy usage and minimise material wastage across the manufacturing cycle.

Designed by your industry peers, Global Automotive Lightweight Materials 2012 this idea generation platform will deliver the latest solutions for a technical and commercially viable lightweight strategy. Browse through the enclosed agenda and visit

www.global-automotive-lightweight-materials.com for the fastest way to register.

I look forward to meeting you in April.

Situated in fashionable Islington, the Business Design Centre is

London’s most stylish exhibition centre in the UK. Opened 20 years

ago in 1986, and formerly the Royal Agricultural Hall, the building

was rescued from demolition in 1981 by entrepreneur Sam Morris

and was fully restored and re-opened as the UK’s first integrated

trade, exhibition and conference complex.
