Lightweight vehicles in recent years has become an important topic in the world auto industry, in energy conservation, improve fuel efficiency and other pressures, are increasingly showing lightweight development. Suspension system as an important part of the body, how to achieve lightweight vehicle development has become an unavoidable issue, a variety of rubber suspension, less leaf spring, swing arm made of aluminum based, application of new materials and other new scheme has been applied more and more.

    And electronic, also with the vehicle structure and function of continuous improvement and perfection of vehicle vibration, design a new electronically controlled suspension system, vibration control to the lowest level is to improve the quality of Hyundai Motor important measures. According Throttle Body noted that at present, vehicle suspension system has entered into the electronic controller to control era. Optimum use of the control method to obtain high-performance damping effect, and reducing power consumption as low as possible, is the vehicle suspension system main direction of development.

     What is the car lighter? In fact, the car is to ensure the car's lightweight strength and safety performance of the premise, as far as possible to reduce the car's curb weight, and thus improve the car's power, reducing fuel consumption and reduce exhaust pollution. Experiments show that, if the 10% reduction in car vehicle weight, fuel efficiency can be increased by 6% -8%; Car Curb Weight is reduced by 100 kg, one hundred kilometers fuel consumption can be reduced 0.3-0.6 l; 1% reduction in vehicle weight, fuel consumption can be reduced 0.7 %. Currently, due to environmental and energy needs, the car's weight has become the world's automotive trend.

    Lightweight not cut corners, it is not simply a part of the body or car lighter. The Automobile Association has released on "automotive lightweight meaning" the report pointed out: the overall structure of the vehicle analysis and optimization, to achieve the auto parts streamlined, holistic and lightweight; engine lightweight; transmission lightweight; Suspension lightweight; lightweight body and attachments are currently implemented lightweight vehicle weight of six aspects.
     Car plate thickness has dropped to 0.6mm. This could have reached the limit of plate thickness, thin steel plate and then high again even if its own strength, but also lost a lot of the structural stability of the material itself. Now subject to the new car with steel materials more and more challenges. The atomic weight of iron determines its density can not be changed, by thinning the road to weight loss seems to have come to an end.

According Kero  Throttle Body understood that the national automobile lightweight technology innovation strategic alliance is working with Changan Automobile Group, to jointly develop and promote "aluminum instead of steel" of the hood. The study is out in the event of an accident to protect pedestrian safety considerations. Because in some applications such as aluminum hood can reduce the impact on the person causing secondary damage. Although the weight of aluminum plate about 1/3, but it can absorb the collision energy is twice as steel. Aluminum in the event of collisions of higher safety factor because of its energy-absorbing material has a very good effect. Aluminum is becoming now widely used in high-end car, an SUV has emerged aluminum, aluminum front-end structure to do high-end cars are also being emulated by the industry.
