The social demands for performance and function of automobile such as energy saving, countermeasures for environmental pollution and driving safety have become severe. To solve these problems newly-developed materials have been applied to automobiles. Within the limit of autobody parts, high strength steel sheets for weight reduction and ensuring safety, aluminium alloy sheets and polymers for weight lightening, coated steel sheets for improvement of corrosion resistance have been used so much practically. In this paper the author reviews the present situation of developments and applications to autobody of these sheet materials in Japan.
