FLEXCRASH IN A NUTSHELL

Towards a safer, lighter, and circular crash structures production

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.  

DISCOVER THE PROJECT

Flexible & hybrid manufacturing

Transformation of the traditional automotive sector according the needs of the upcoming industry.

Crash tolerant and safe structures

Creation of the necessary tools to produce and build lighter, safer and more resistant car structures.  

Advanced testing on crash, toughness, fracture & fatigue

Optimisation of the materials and manufacturing parameters and reduction of implementation time.

Crash simulation testing

Validation of the project’s tolerant structures under different crash scenarios from advanced material models to virtual testing.

Safety needs for current and future mobility sector

Investigation, identification, demonstration and validation of potential future relevant crash scenarios. 

FLEXCRASH AMBITION

FlexCrash goal is to radically transform the traditional automotive sector and adapt to the extensive agility, versatility and interoperability needs of the upcoming industry.

ALIGNED WITH EUROPEAN NEEDS

Contributing to improve EU automotive industry and societal challenges

More sustainable & lighter vehicles structures

FlexCrash uses green aluminium alloys and lightweight materials proposing processes more respectful for the planet and leading to a more sustainable automotive sector. 

Aligned with European policies

The project contributes to the EC Circular Economy Action Plan “For a cleaner and more competitive Europe”, which is part of the key actions of the European Green Deal

Support to meet GHG EU emission targets

The FlexCrash project contributes to the EU emission reduction target of 40% of Green House Gases by 2030 through developing circular, safe, and lightweight sustainable materials.
