Redefining EV Design: Efficient Anisotropic Modelling Unlocks Power of SMC Composites for Lighter Vehicle Structure and Extended EV Range
Read about Fraunhofer’s insights at the Lightweight Tech Talk by AZL on “High-Performance SMC”.
Lightweight vehicles are a concern for the internal combustion engine car of yesterday, but now the world needs the car of the future, a lightweight electric vehicle whose parts can be reused and recycled. Imagined by a strong, international collaboration of scientists, researchers, and engineers, ALMA is breaking boundaries and established systems, looking to revolutionize the automotive industry for a greener future.
ALMA’s ambition is to make electric cars more sustainable, lightweight, and efficient through an eco-design approach using advanced materials. ALMA’s strength is in its cooperation and altruistic approach for the people and planet.
The ALMA consortium involves a diverse group of 9 partners from 4 different EU countries: France, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain.

TNO focuses on recycling and recovering materials based on composites, whereas ArcelorMittal’s expertise lies in the recycling and recovery of steel-based materials.
Lightweighting vehicles require making complex choices with materials and related trade-offs. This is how ALMA did it!
