Green Manufacturing

Objective
• Reduce emissions, fuel consumption, cost
• Save energy
• Meet safety criteria

Goals
– Crashworthiness for the anticipated 2004 requirements
– Reduce total vehicle mass
– Reduce CO2 emissions and increase fuel efficiency
– Superb structural performance (bending and torsional rigidity and normal mode frequency)
– Affordability
– Source reductions (reduced emissions through manufacturing less steel)
– 100% recyclability
