A structural element of a vehicle called an Automotive Lightweight Cross-Car Beam (sometimes referred to as a “LCB” or “cross-car beam”) is intended to add stiffness and strength to the body of the vehicle. It serves as a means of distributing crash forces in the event of a collision and is frequently found beneath the dashboard.
As automakers work to increase fuel efficiency and lighten the overall weight of their vehicles, the use of lightweight materials in the cross-car beam’s construction is growing in popularity.
The cross-car beam can be made out of lighter materials while maintaining the requisite rigidity and strength, such as high-strength steel, magnesium, or aluminium.
A lightweight cross-car beam is an important part of contemporary automotive design since it can help increase a vehicle’s performance, safety, and efficiency overall.
The Automotive Lightweight Cross-Car beam accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The European Die Casting Award ceremony’s first prize went to GF Casting Solutions in the magnesium category. In the digital event “EUROGUSS Studio Edition,” the winners have been revealed. Cross car beam (CCB) for the current S-class from Daimler AG is the winning magnesium component (BR223).
The LEVIS project uses eco-design and circular manufacturing techniques to create lightweight EV components. In order to generate the multi-material solutions used by LEVIS, which will be made with affordable and scalable manufacturing technologies, metal will be integrated into fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites.
The consortium’s objective is to use three large-scale real-world demonstrators—a suspension arm, a battery box set, and a cross-car beam—to show that it is both technically possible and economically feasible to produce these components.
A significant US electric vehicle manufacturer placed a fresh contract with the German company ElringKlinger for series delivery of cockpit cross-car beams in hybrid design for new model.
