ALIVE

ALIVE aims to develop key vehicle lightweighting technologies for application to near-future electric vehicles to be introduced into the market from 2020 up to a level of technology readiness that would enable mass production (around 1000 vehicles/day). The key objective is to achieve affordable solutions for vehicle weight reduction (around € 15k selling price excluding battery or € 20-25k including battery) targeting a further 20 % weight reduction of the Body-in-White (BiW) compared to the 30 % weight reduction already demonstrated in recent EU funded RTD projects, with respect to benchmark state-of-the–art EVs recently introduced to the market, while achieving also substantial weight savings with the hang-on parts, chassis and main interior sub-systems.
