The lightweight design of vehicle has become an important research topic of green transportation because of many advantages with high security, energy-saving, emission reduction and so forth in the environment of the green traffic. In a premise of clear understanding of lightweight vehicles, the article discussed the factors influencing lightweight vehicle design from the two aspects of design cost and vehicle energy consumption. The research results show that: through the use of green welding forming technology, it can effectively reduce the vehicle quality and the energy consumption. By using aluminum alloy, weathering steel and composite material composite structure design, not only it can satisfy the requirements of the integration of the vehicle structure, but also can reduce the vehicle weight to realize the balancing of benefits and costs so as to provide a good direction for the green traffic to build a resource conserving and environment friendly society.
