This chapter begins with an overview of current design concepts for car body structures and explains the dependencies between those design concepts, production volumes and material application. It also introduces some important manufacturing technologies, semi-finished products as well as specific design concepts for closures. Based on a review of key factors bringing about change, three major trends in material usage for car bodies are identified and discussed. The chapter also gives examples of latest technologies demonstrated in two major research and development projects, which present an outlook on possible future material applications in car bodies.
