Published by Elsevier B.V.Funded by the EC FP7 Programme, EVolution project demonstrated that it is possible to consistently reduce the vehicle weight through the wide use of new materials and process technologies, mainly by developing a multi-material Body-in-White. This paper focuses on three of the five structural body demonstrators, the main objective of the framework, strongly hybridized with aluminum and thermoplastic composite materials, specifically developed and manufactured through innovative technologies. Directing in particular the analysis on medium production volumes (> 30,000 units/year), the industrial viability is evaluated in terms of TAKT time, lightweighting costs, weight reduction and structural performances achieved.6969507enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessconference output10.1016/j.procir.2017.03.292AutomotiveBody in WhiteCompositesLightweightElectric vehicleAutomotiveBody in WhiteCompositesLightweightElectric vehicleControl and Systems EngineeringIndustrial and Manufacturing EngineeringSDG 9 - Industry, Innovation, and InfrastructureProject IDinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/314744/EU/The Electric Vehicle revOLUTION enabled by advanced materials highly hybridized into lightweight components for easy integration and dismantling providing a reduced life cycle cost logic/EVOLUTIONinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/314744/EU/The Electric Vehicle revOLUTION enabled by advanced materials highly hybridized into lightweight components for easy integration and dismantling providing a reduced life cycle cost logic/EVOLUTIONFunding InfoThe research leading to these results has received funding_x000D_ from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme_x000D_ (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement no. 314744.The research leading to these results has received funding_x000D_ from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme_x000D_ (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement no. 314744.http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85027572649&partnerID=8YFLogxK
