The objectives of weight reduction and sustainability, as well as the integration of alternative propulsion systems, require a reorientation. This applies to vehicle design, the type of materials used for vehicle construction, technologies, and manufacturing and assembly processes. The result is the possibility of saving in both cost and time, without compromising safety:

The types of materials are radically changing the current concept of the vehicle structure towards a multi-material technology. The use of new plastic materials has increased through transformation processes of thermoplastics, composites and hybrid systems. Lightweight parts are designed with high-strength steel capable of absorbing energy in the event of an impact.
In the near future, the supporting structures of vehicles will undergo important modifications derived from the integration of the cell to pack and cell to vehicle concepts, which imply that the vehicle batteries assume part of the structural responsibility. This means important variations in the geometry and vehicle structure materials.
Integration of sensors that allow communication and automation of vehicles.
In recent years the lighting system has become an increasingly important part of the exterior design. In the automotive sector, progress has not stopped in achieving greater safety with the latest technologies capable of projecting messages and indications on the road to adapt driving to road conditions. Some examples are signalling works, dangers or reminding signs or indications. They also automatically adapt the lighting to the type of road and avoid blinding other drivers.
