On July 16th, Constellium announced the successful completion of its FlexCAR project, a five-year publicly funded initiative focused on smart aluminium solutions for the automotive sector.
Conducted in collaboration with Germany's leading mobility research campus ARENA2036, FlexCAR brought together key partners including Mercedes-Benz, Siemens, Bosch, and the German Aerospace Centre (DLR).
The project features a modular sill structure made from Constellium’s HSA6 high-strength aluminium alloys, which are partially recycled. This innovative design delivers enhanced crash performance, greater design flexibility, and a reduced carbon footprint.
Constellium and ARENA2036 previously collaborated on the Digital Fingerprint project, which created a digital twin of an aluminium component to monitor performance throughout its lifecycle.
