Doors & Closures in Car Body Engineering 2024

Doors & Closures in Car Body Engineering 2024

Functionality at the highest level

Car doors, tailgates and hoods remain at the forefront of technical developments in car body engineering. They contain a great variety of functionality and many important features that are relevant for customer comfort. In addition, they dominate the outer appearance of a car and thus play an important role in the impression a vehicle makes on its owner.

The already high complexity of the tasks will be further increased by additional challenges:

  • The materials challenge: How can cradle-to-grave sustainable solutions be reached while maintaining lightweighting solutions?

  • The future mobility challenge: What solutions can and need to be realised for the new demands on doors and closures, for instance in purpose-built vehicles and other future mobility developments?

  • The electrification challenge: New features in BEV vehicles (e.g. frunk, charging access) will lead to changed customer behaviour – how can this best be carried out?

All these and further questions will be addressed at Automotive Circle’s Doors and Closures in Car Body Engineering 2024 conference, again gathering its leading international network of specialist engineers in Bad Nauheim (Germany) on November 12-13, 2024, to exchange views on latest innovations and trends in modern hang-on part development and production.
