The Flexcrash project is focused on the development of a flexible and hybrid manufacturing technology to produce tailored adaptive crash-tolerant structures made of green aluminium alloys.
The project selects vehicle parts and applies surface patterns onto performed parts with the objective to reduce weight, increase safety and optimise crash performance of current and future vehicles.
Flexcrash solutions are to provide a general improvement of car safety with a reduction of risks and fatalities in crashes.
Flexcrash goal is to radically transform the traditional automotive sector and adapt to the extensive agility, versatility and interoperability needs of the upcoming industry.
The Flexcrash project was featured at the FLAMINGo project final event, held on October 15th in Munich, Germany. This event took place as part of the eMove360° International Conference & Trade Fair for electric and autonomous mobility.
The Flexcrash project was showcased at the Materials Science & Technology (MS&T) technical meeting and exhibition celebrated from 6 – 9 October in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Eurecat, acting as the project’s coordinator, participated in the European Powder Metallurgy Congress (EuroPM2024) held from September 29 to October 2 in Malmö, Sweden.
The Flexcrash consortium celebrated its second year of the project and its 4th General Assembly on September 4 – 5 at the Gestamp facilities in Bilbao, Spain.
Flexcrash interdisciplinary consortium is made up of 10 partners from 5 different countries with great expertise on manufacturing more sustainable and crash-tolerant vehicles structures.
The project is coordinated by Eurecat Technology Centre.
