Automotive cross car beams are key structural components in the vehicle cockpit, with demanding requirements in terms of stiffness, strength, vibration behavior, safety, and integration of multiple functions. In this TechTalk, we challenge conventional thinking around cross car beam design. We unpack the real performance drivers behind stiffness, strength, vibration behavior, safety, and functional integration and show how these requirements are fundamentally changing in next-generation vehicles.

You’ll gain a clear view of today’s most widely used technologies and material concepts, where they truly perform, and where they fall short. You will learn how material selection and design simulation can improve performance while creating space for functional integration.
