12th International Car Body Benchmarking Conference
Presentation and comparison of the most innovative car bodies from Europe, Japan and North America

With its 12 to 15 car bodies of most recent series models, presented in technical detail by their OEM developers, and available both as both body-in-whites and complete cars for inspection and discussion, the EuroCarBody is the leading international benchmarking and networking event for engineers in car body development, pre-development, planning and production. Unique at EuroCarBody: All participants judge all car bodies and their presentation, following a detailed catalogue of technical criteria, and thus determining the winners of the EuroCarBody Awards, the highest accolade in car body engineering worldwide.

In addition to this, the new car forum of the event enables participants to study and judge the practical implementation of the car bodies in the full vehicle.

The programme is further complemented by the exhibitors' forum, where approx. 20 leading system suppliers demonstrate their latest developments.

All car body presentations at the EuroCarBody describe in detail the development goals and how they are realized, the car body materials and joining technologies used as well as the car's production concept. With this benchmarking information at hand, it is then the conference participant's and OEM board of experts, which will evaluate the engineering solutions presented, marking the most distinguished car body engineering achievements of the year - and determining the winners of the EuroCarBody Awards 2010.
