Abstract
Spaceframe bodies made of aluminium have considerable potential to make cars lighter and thus more economical, because they weigh about 40 % less than conventional bodies made of sheet steel. Honsel has been developing aluminium extrusion profiles for spaceframe structures since 1992 and has been supplying them in series production since 1994. An innovative alloy developed by Honsel and Trimet will give the profiles more strength. The extrusions can be dimensioned thinner, thus saving additional weight of up to 17 %.
