Abstract
Reliability and convenience are the most important factors concerning the development of automobiles. Measures to enhance the safety in motorcars such as the raise of the mechanical stiffness or additional safety systems (ABS, ASR, ESP, etc.) usually result in an increase of the tare mass of a vehicle. Consequently, the fuel consumption is also increased. Due to the fact that environmental obligations are steadily getting stricter, automobile manufacturers are forced to minimize weight and fuel consumption. Systematic research should lead to a new conducting material consisting of an aluminum alloy which improves disadvantageous material properties of pure aluminum conductors. However, it should not reduce the particular advantage of having a low specific weight.
