Project Details
Description
Validation of a high-volume lightweighting technology manufacturing process
The ‘Hot Form Quench’ process produces high-strength aluminium pressings, with reduced weight and simpler, stronger structures for vehicle bodies
Utilises recycled aluminium car parts
£9.5 million total project value, receiving £4.8 million funding through the APC
