Constellium Joins Industry Consortium for Lightweight Vehicle Chassis Innovation Project
February 24 2025 - 7:00AM
Constellium SE (NYSE: CSTM) announced its participation in ‘Project
M-LightEn,’ an ambitious new initiative to develop
ultra-lightweight, sustainable vehicle chassis structures. Led by
Gordon Murray Group (GMG), the initiative is supported by Innovate
UK and the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC), and includes as
partners Constellium, Carbon ThreeSixty, and Brunel University
London. Over the next three years, the consortium aims to achieve
breakthrough innovations in unibody vehicle architecture that
reduce carbon intensity by 50% while being 25% lighter.
As part of Project M-LightEn, Constellium will
supply ultra-high-strength aluminum solutions made with 80%
recycled UK consumer scrap. These advanced materials will form the
foundation of the unibody structure, enhancing the structural
integrity of the unibody while reducing weight and carbon
emissions. Brunel University London will collaborate with
Constellium on advanced material research and testing, ensuring
that every component meets the highest standards for performance
and sustainability.
“Alongside Gordon Murray Automotive’s niche
supercar application, Project M-LightEn will enable decarbonization
across the wider automotive industry by shortening and de-risking
the path to market for innovative new materials and processes,”
stated GMG’s Strategy and Business Director, Jean-Phillipe
Launberg.
“Through Project M-LightEn, Constellium
reaffirms its commitment to pushing the boundaries of
lightweighting technologies,” stated Martin Jarrett, Director
Technology and Innovation at Constellium’s AS&I business unit.
“This initiative allows us to develop cutting-edge aluminum
solutions that redefine vehicle performance while combining
innovation with sustainability and circularity.”
The first phase of Project M-LightEn is
underway, focusing on the exploration of new materials and joining
techniques. By late 2027, the consortium’s innovations are expected
to be available for low-volume commercial applications, with
broader adoption in mainstream manufacturing to follow.
