Automotive lightweight means to maintain the original car driving safety, crashworthiness resistance, shock resistance and other properties without reducing comfort, lower costs and a car without a substantial increase in the premise of targeted components to reduce vehicle weight, the main depot through streamlined car exterior design, powertrain (engine or electric motor) components compact design, the use of light alloys or light weight metals, etc., to achieve the purpose of lightweight vehicles, light alloy compared to engineering plastic and other non-metallic materials with greater recovery features and benefits, along with the application of light alloy like aluminum, magnesium and titanium alloy to increase the percentage of the results, will set off a new generation of automotive components and parts, this article briefly describes the application of light alloy profiles and auto parts in Taiwan vendor opportunities.
