Car body engineering liveFrom 16th to 18th october, eurocarbody 2012, the 14th Global car body benchmarking conference, once again offers the most important forum for defi ning and discussing the state of the art in modern series car body engineering. the international elite of automotive car body engineers meets again in bad nauheim to examine the development, performance and production pro-cesses for car bodies of new series models planned for the european market.

In Bad Nauheim, newest series car bodies, representing the current model year, will be explained to the industry specialists in 50-minute presentations given by OEM engineers directly involved in their planning and realisation. Development, material and production concepts of the car bodies will be introduced in detail. Results presented will then be discussed with the speakers directly at the body-in-white. All car bodies thus presented will be available for viewing during the entire conference.

As part of the conference documents, the participants will be provided again with the standardised benchmark data for all car bodies displayed, with standardised tabular information including weights, parts, materials, joining technology and key pro-duction performance fi gures.

Complementing this car body information, as part of the conference, the new car show provides the opportunity to look at the complete vehicle both inside and out and examine the implementation of the car body concept in the full vehicle.

Unique to the EuroCarBody: The OEM Expert Board and the entire international expert audience of the conference decide, with their expert vote, on the winners of this year’s eurocarbody awards, the highest accolade worldwide in car body engineering.
