Composite Hybrid Front-End Carrier

ElringKlinger’s composite hybrid technology offers functionality with minimum weight. It can be utilized for structural vehicle components like front-end carriers or door modules replacing metal or casting structures.

Characteristics

• High degree of strength and stiffness, focused on the main load paths, while at the same time selecting materials with a focus on lightweight construction
• Function integration and inclusion of headlamps, radiator, hood latches + actuator, active grill shutter, vortex air intake, ADAS cameras with LiDAR, etc.
• Very good dimensional accuracy and process capability despite complex component geometries
• Fulfillment of structure-relevant requirements, such as crash, NVH etc.
• Optimized and highly automated processes enable reduction in assembly times and process steps, maximum reduction of components as well as cost minimization
