Many factors can influence how fast the process takes— and how much it costs to get it there. When it comes to optimizing both, one practice can make a huge difference: lightweighting.
A European research team has investigated interconnection and encapsulation strategies to improve the damp heat and mechanical resilience of vehicle integrated photovoltaic (VIPV) modules, finding ...
Secondary mass savings resulting from body lightweighting are considered for the vehicles' engine, driveline and suspension. A "cradle-to-cradle" life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted for ...
