| Popis: | The paper displays extracts from the results of the Affordable LIghtweight Automobiles AlliaNCE (ALLIANCE) project, funded by the Horizon 2020 framework programme of the European Commission. In this regard, a door demonstrator, that is, currently in series production and mainly consists of steel materials, has been re-engineered making use of state-of-the-art aluminium alloys. The reference and lightweight doors have been assessed regarding the achieved weight saving. A cost calculation has been performed for both variants in order to evaluate the actual lightweighting cost of the aluminium door. The economical impact in the use phase has been taken into account by assessing the influences on the total cost of ownership (TCO). Furthermore, the environmental impact has been evaluated by a life-cycle assessment, taking into account the production, use and end-of-life phase. The methodological approach that has been used to perform the comparative assessment is part of the description. |
