Lightweight construction from vision to product

Audi has anchored lightweight construction as a key strategic corporate objective in its brand core „Vorsprung durch Technik”. Within the Audi lightweight construction strategy, the aluminum space frame principle has been further developed into the multimaterial space frame. The intelligent and flexible use of a wide range of materials ensures that the right material is used in the right place for optimum function. The close networking with universities, institutes and industrial partners is an essential component in the joint development of expertise and ensures Audi's sustainable positioning as a lightweight construction innovator.
