Novel Concepts for Safer, Lighter, Circular and Smarter Vehicle Design
SALIENT is an EU-funded Research & Innovation Action (RIA), focusing on future-proof light vehicle designs, which have an increased compatibility with mixed traffic and are better prepared for crashes and collisions.
Ecodesign Guidelines
What is ecodesign and how can it be adopted by the wider automotive industry?
Please find here an insightful guide, detailing not only the methodology and application cases of ecodesign principles, but also demonstrating its successful application for the newly developed Front End Structure (FES) of the SALIENT project!
SALIENT is focusing on making roads safer and reducing serious injuries and fatalities
The Consortium is working towards the creation of a Front End Structure that will be based on aluminum and Thermo Plastic Reinforced with Carbon Fibre (TP-CRFP) to achieve the ambitious goal of 42 % weight reduction at the system level.
The first draft of the new baseline has already surpassed this goal, with approximately a 50 % reduction, thanks to subsequent crash simulation loops that helped refine the concept.
Improved forming technology, optimised TP-CFRPs & hybrid materials production processes
