Reducing vehicle mass using innovative materials in vehicle structures allows automakers to meet future CO2 emission targets because lowering a vehicle's weight by 100kg reduces fuel consumption by 0.5L over a 100km distance. While lighter vehicles can help to make the automotive industry more sustainable, the need for lightweight can sometimes conflict with other industry requirements. In some cases, lighter vehicles, for example, can impose more stringent CO2 reduction policies on OEMs. While EVs are far heavier than their ICE counterparts, they are the primary mover for a more sustainable automotive industry.
