•    Description:  The second annual Lightweighting World Expo took place in Niles, MI, on October 8-9, 2019. Several hundred automotive OEM and Tier 1 engineering leaders gathered for two days of exhibits and presentations focused on vehicle lightweighting. The 28 presentations included big-picture overviews of important new vehicle programs, discussions of likely trends in vehicle autonomy and power sources, the evolving use of additive manufacturing, and specific lightweighting strategies in a range of vehicle components — not just body-in-white, but also glazing, brakes, and suspension components. This article recaps some of the presentations most relevant to the light metals industries.
