Optimization said key in ULSAB project

The Advanced Vehicle Concepts (AVC) program of the UltraLight Steel Auto Body (ULSAB) project expects to deliver computer data from the project in 12 months. The data will include dynamic properties information on all the advanced steel grades used in the final design. Safety has been a growing issue in the project, which also is focusing on environmental issues, including fuel eficiency, handling and affordability. The project is funded by 33 steel companies from around the world, all of whom will benefit from the knowledge and data derived from the program.
