In 2015, steel still dominated as
a material of choice. (Or rather,
"steels", since a vehicle can be
composed of more than 30
different types of alloy.) Steel producers are holding their own in
the race for lower weight as they
develop new grades, but the race
will become increasingly difficult
for them. The percentage of steel
in vehicle weight is projected to
drop from 60% in 2015 to 41% in
2020. The percentage for plastics
and composites should rise from
19% to 25% over the same period
(Figure 5), but the real winner
might be aluminium, which
could account for 20% of vehicle
weight by 2020, compared to
8% in 2015. Manufacturers need
to make their heavy equipment
profitable, and conceptually
speaking, it is easier to go from
one metal to another than to
undergo a radical transition to
composites. Nevertheless, even
if the proportion of composites
is not going to skyrocket over-

night, in terms of volume it is
revolutionary, as the scale effect
is colossal given the number of
vehicles to be produced.

Rolling schedule
Automobile manufacturers constantly scrutinize their operational margins, and usually do
not replace a technical solution
with another unless it is a more
cost-effective one. But here, the
opposite is occurring under regulatory pressure. We are on a learning curve, and the turning point
will occur only when the new
standards are actually applied.
Germany has already asked
the European Commission in
Brussels to postpone the application of the new European standards until 2022. The Commission granted a postponement of
the obligation only until 2021. If
a majority of manufacturers fails
to be ready in time, we might see
new deferments.
