U.S. Sales and Production
(Will Vehicles Get Smaller?)




www.autosteel.org
U.S. Auto Sales & Production Will Steadily
               Improve with Economy
•GDP Growth is Moderate (Slow)
•Used Vehicle prices and age of fleet are high
•Credit is more available/stock market recovering
•Dollar is low against Yen and OK against Euro
•Bin Laden is gone Bye Bye

                         But . . .
•Unemployment rate and length is terrible
•House prices are still falling and will fall more . . .
•States/Cities cutting spending and employment
•Consumer confidence was improving, now falling . . .
•Gas prices spiking with food prices
•Higher commodity prices = higher auto prices
•Japan crisis might halt automaker production as parts run short

Material Trends
1.   The current trend substituting for mild steel still has a way to go
     (e.g., aluminum doors and magnesium/ titanium/ composite
     components).

2.   There is a threshold at which you can no longer continue to
     substitute lighter-mass materials due to structural performance
     (e.g., stiffness). (Other concerns arise with manufacturability,
     safety, repairability, recyclability and supply chain.)

3.   Aggressive mass reduction will eventually require a significant
     architectural redesign to accommodate, for example:

     – Aluminum (e.g., space frame structure)
     – Magnesium & composites (major molded unibody
       components)

Average Material Consumption for a Domestic Light Vehicle
     The average light vehicle in 2008 contained more than 2,000 pounds of steel, most of it
     conventional steel. High and medium strength steel, however, made up more than 10% of the
     vehicle. The use of aluminum grew from 1995 to 2008, while the use of iron castings declined.

  • 23. Material Trends 1. The current trend substituting for mild steel still has a way to go (e.g., aluminum doors and magnesium/ titanium/ composite components). 2. There is a threshold at which you can no longer continue to substitute lighter-mass materials due to structural performance (e.g., stiffness). (Other concerns arise with manufacturability, safety, repairability, recyclability and supply chain.) 3. Aggressive mass reduction will eventually require a significant architectural redesign to accommodate, for example: – Aluminum (e.g., space frame structure) – Magnesium & composites (major molded unibody components) www.autosteel.org
