General Motors’ Cadillac® CT6 and ContiTech’s polyamide rear cross beam for the 2016 Mercedes S-Class are the recipients of the 4th annual Altair Enlighten Awards, which acknowledge innovation in vehicle weight reduction. The awards were presented during the 2016 CAR Management Briefing Seminars (MBS) in Traverse City, Mich.
Cadillac's entry was one of 21 finalists that competed for the awards, winning the OEM-focused Full-Vehicle category for its strategic approach to weight reduction.
ContiTech won in the Module cagtegory.
The runners up for this year's award were BMW for its multimaterial 2016 7 Series in the Full-Vehicle category, and Alcoa, which took second place in the Module category for its Micromill aluminum processing technology used on the Ford F150®.
The Altair Enlighten Award is intended to honor the greatest achievements in weight savings each year; to inspire interest from industry, engineering, policymakers, educators, students, and the public; to create further competition for new ideas in the industry; and to provide an incentive to share technological advances.
