Lightweight Structures

Includes a wide variety of lightweight advanced materials, forming processes and joining methods enabling mass-optimized solutions for body, chassis and electric vehicle structures. Examples are body sides, body rails, complicated closures, and lift-gates.

Body-in-white offers plenty of opportunities for innovative light metal solutions. Our body structures are developed by utilizing conventional and advanced material grades and joining methods, both in steel and aluminum, and we supply them machined and assembled. We manufacture complete Under- and Upper body systems, Longitudinal Members, Shock Towers, Side Members and Torque Boxes, and we are able to combine design as well as function, with lightweighting top of mind.

Produced in plastic, steel and aluminum to enhance vehicle styling and aesthetics. Installed on vehicle exteriors, typically around the glass, door cut lines or the roof. Design-responsible or built-to-print.

Complex fabricated steel hitches meeting SAE J684 Class 3 and Class 4 requirements. Designed to suit frame construction and body lines to provide a clean integrated look. Design-responsible or build-to-print.

Our castings in aluminum, steel or mixed-material are tailored to suit the vehicle. Flexible architecture designs (integral or fabricated) accommodate multiple system options. Our portfolio includes Front and Rear Subframes, Crossmembers, Rear Lower Control Arms, Knuckles and Links, and we apply additional focus on lightweighting our products, where possible. From built-to-print to design-responsible, Martinrea offers high-quality solutions for your vehicle.
