The Laser Welded blanks is clever solution in order to reduce considerably the mass of the Body in White.

This weight reduction is reached by to factors:

• Butt Joining > No overlap anymore > Weight reduction

• Thickness optimization (Best material at the best place) > Weight reduction

In comparison with a multipart assembly reference, a LWB solution have a potential mass saving up to 25%

The used of the Laser Welded Blanks solution directly link to the improvement of the automotive safety over the last decades

Laser Welded Blanks combine energy absorption and anti-intrusion properties
