Idea:
? Lightweight parts with load and function-optimized
material usage
Implementation of Idea / Targets / Benefits:
? Flexible Cold-Rolling Process
? Flat material with repeated, varying thickness runs
and harmonious transition zones
? An increased number of thickness zones for an
optimized TRB solution results in minimal
lightweight cost
Targets / Benefits:
? Weight Reduction
? Part Integration
? Functional Improvement

Objective
? Weight and function optimization
Innovation
? Welded assembly body structure with
single-layered flanges in combination
with TRB ?
Advantages
? Weight reduction of up to 16%
? Improved connectivity to body
structure due to single-layered flange
? Highly efficient solution due to
building closed section (like tubes)
while improving performance
Status
? Serial development

Objective
? Weight and function optimization
Innovation
? Introducing a slim foot design to get
a parallel nesting within the max. coil
width of TRB ?
Advantages
? Weight reduction of up to 17%
? High material utilization
? Independent thickness run without
requiring a symmetry line
Status
? In serial production soon
