Reducing CO2 emissions, improving safety, reducing car weight and cutting costs are the main constraints in the design of a new door.In partnership with a design office and a Tier 1 supplier, Arcelor has designed a generic door that reduces mass by 15% without impacting costs.This design was based on a reference (D segment / one of the European “best in class”). Functional validation was achieved by comparison with this reference and industrial feasibility was validated with the help of a partner (industrial door manufacturer).A range of innovations were implemented:This presentation will describe
