Lightweight Engineering

A chassis is never just a structure. It is a complex system that channels forces, carries loads, and significantly defines the character of a vehicle. In high-performance development, the question is not “Which material?”, but rather “How do we combine the best properties of different materials into a functional unit?”

The development of modern vehicle bodies is a fascinating process that combines craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. A particularly exciting part of this process is the journey from the initial model to the finished component – in our case, a painted CFRP fender produced in small series.

Virtual track tests have long played a key role in modern vehicle development, significantly impacting the vehicle's final performance.

The result when automotive engineers apply their lightweight expertise to a bicycle project: The high-performance eCargo bike...

Just as there is a ‘magic triangle’ in project management, there are also three areas of tension in the development and design of...

There are divided opinions about the aesthetic appeal of a rear wing on a vehicle. However, in the best case scenario, it improves...

No matter the field, we reproduce and optimize hard-to-find, worn, or poor-quality (spare) parts. How we do it? With our 3D scanning...

Carbon fiber has a 150-year history. It really came onto the scene in 1970 and its potential became clear from the 1990s onwards. At that...

This prototype of a carbon fiber monocoque consists of over 1000 cuttings, 100 inserts, and 20-30 foams. In this case, it is the central...
