Description

This Frost & Sullivan report examines automotive lightweighting strategies, highlighting the various initiatives adopted by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to reduce the weight of passenger vehicles. As the industry rapidly advances toward electrification and sustainability, reducing vehicle weight has become a crucial lever for meeting emissions targets, enhancing energy efficiency, and lowering costs. Lightweighting enables automakers to improve fuel economy, extend electric vehicle (EV) driving range, and optimize powertrain design, all while maintaining structural strength and safety. The adoption of advanced materials combined with innovative manufacturing techniques allows manufacturers to achieve these gains without compromising durability. Although carbon dioxide and fuel economy regulations strongly incentivize weight reduction, the absence of explicit mandates leads to uneven implementation across the sector. Nonetheless, as electrification, advanced driver assistant systems (ADAS), and connected vehicle features add to vehicle weight, lightweighting will become even more critical to deliver performance, range, and cost efficiency. Over the next decade, multi-material architectures, structural battery integration, and holistic vehicle design approaches are expected to make lightweighting a core enabler of next-generation mobility solutions. The report identifies the factors driving and restraining the industry as well as the growth opportunities arising from emerging lightweighting trends for market players and stakeholders to leverage. The geographical scope of this study is global. The base year is 2024, and the forecast period is from 2025 to 2030.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
