EuroCarBody
24th Global Car Body Benchmarking Conference

We are looking forward to meeting you again when EuroCarBody, the globally leading international series car body benchmarking conference, re-opens its gates in Bad Nauheim/Germany for hands-on, exclusive presentations of current, recently launched car body projects from all over the world.
This is where the global elite of car body engineers meet to benchmark current car body development, performance and production, with detailed technical presentations by OEM engineering teams directly involved in the development of the presented car bodies, explaining their construction, material and production concepts, and subsequently answering your questions at and around the corresponding car body exhibit. Car body exhibits can be fully inspected by all conference participants during the three conference days; the same is true for the respective full vehicles, which will also be on display.
As part of the conference proceedings, the standardised EuroCarBody benchmark data will be provided for all delegates, with detailed information on weights, materials, parts, joining technologies as well as production data of all car bodies presented.
Be part of this outstanding event and its discussions!

EUROCARBODY AWARDS
Established in 2002, the bestowal of the annual EuroCarBody Awards represents the climax of each EuroCarBody conference.
The Awards, generally regarded as the highest accolade in car body engineering worldwide, are granted by Automotive Circle for the most convincing OEM car body development presented at the conference, regarding both product and process innovations. The presentations enter one of two separate competitions:
PREMIUM SEGMENT, comprising vehicles that have been developed for a pre-dominantly technology-oriented, premium vehicle segment
VOLUME SEGMENT, comprising cars that have been developed for a pre-dominantly cost-oriented, volume-production vehicle segment.
The Award winners are determined by the combined vote of the conference audience and the conference’s OEM Advisory Board, based on the evaluation of five equal-weight technical criteria:
1. Car body development and construction
2. Material development and application
3. Production efficiency
4. Car-body-implied customer value
5. Quality and completeness of the presentation

In order to participate in our conferences you currently do not need to show any evidence in form of Covid-19 vaccination, negative tests or similar. In case of changes we will of course inform you in time.
