Abstract
Abstract The Super Light Car (SLC) project is one of the most important research projects in the European Community for automotive lightweight construction with a multi-material approach. The paper shows the motivation and objective for a front structure designed with a light multi-material-mix.

Reducing weight by 100 kg leads to a fuel savings of 0.35 l/100 km and 8.4 g CO2/km with gasoline engines in the NEDC if taking into account an adjustment of the gear shifting without a change in elasticity and acceleration values due to the lower weight [4]
Without conducting an evaluation showing in detail how these emissions affect global warming, it can be said that the political pressure to reduce these emissions from vehicle traffic is increasing
Summary
The Super Light Car (SLC) project is one of the most important research projects in the European Community for automotive lightweight construction with a multimaterial approach. The “Super Light Car” (SLC) EU-project started at the beginning of 2005 with the motivation to reduce weight in vehicle bodies through the economically feasible production of multi-material structures One of the objectives in the project is to reduce the weight in the body in white (B.I.W.) by at least 30% (reference: A-class segment unibody structure) through a lightweight construction for volume production of 1,000 vehicles per day.
