ACMA Ford Tech Day Update Tuesday January 16

ACMA Ford Tech Day Update Tuesday January 16, 2018 Patrick Blanchard, Ford Research Dan Coughlin, ACMA VP of Market Development Doubletree Inn, Detroit, Michigan

Composites Technology Days – March 27 -28, 2018 • Inside Ford’s Product Development Center – Dearborn, MI • Opportunity to engage Ford’s Product Development Groups – – – Structural Under hood Powertrain Interior Exterior Misc (audio, lighting, etc. )

How to make the most of composites tech day. . . • Address the question: – Why should Ford make the transition to composites after already transitioning to aluminum? • If the aluminum transition took 30 years – How can Ford accelerate the transition to composites? • Show a wide array of parts • Present a coordinated industry message • Target: implementation in 3 -5 years

Ford Technology Day – Requests and Messaging • How does your booth/exhibit relate to the product development groups • How will this impact their function? • Create a tangible link between PD and displays • Process technology is an enabler • Emphasis on affordable/scalable solutions

What will help Ford make the transition to composites? • Global scope of supply • Scale needed: 200 k+/year – Process technologies are an enabler – For instance: • • • Continuous materials Aligned materials Automation Repeatable processes Reduced secondary operations

Composites Tech Days Tips • Cover systems integration of composites parts into subsystems • Note any special attachment technologies required – Quality occurs at the interfaces – Fewer fasteners - maximize lightweighting; simplify assembly • Address a broad variety of needs from novice to expert • Select a structure of a Ford vehicle to show the part would be replaced using composites

Final thoughts. . . • Case studies are essential – Design-to-delivery • Ford will approve the final list – Each participant should show something unique and complementary – For instance, multiple carbon fiber suppliers are OK if they each bring a part for a difference product development function • Please work through ACMA staff for all questions related to the event – Do not contact Ford directly – Contact Dan Coughlin, (202)760 -0677, dcoughlin@acmanet. org

Ford Requests for Case Studies • • • System replacement instead of part replacement Examples of part reduction, redesign for cost savings made possible by composite parts/subsystems Better design software Improved testing Mitigating strategies to prevent corrosion of metals from CF parts $5 -$10/kg weight savings opportunities Reduced processing steps to produce composite part Reduce test coupon variability Improved fastening technology – simpler, lighter, verifiable Lower modulus composites

Ford Requests for Case Studies - Key attributes • • • Cost reduction Weight reduction Quality improvement Safety improvement Productivity improvement Environmental/eco-improvement

Case Studies Requested – Product Development Groups Body Structures • Upper Body Structure • Lower Body Structure • Frt/Side/Rear Closures • Closures and Lids Mechanisms • Bumpers and Spoilers Body Exterior • Exterior Trim Body Interior • IP and Console • Interior Trim • Restraints • Seating • Climate Chassis • Brakes • Pedals • Steering • Suspension Frames and Mountings • Wheels Tires Jacks and Equipment Powertrain • Engine • Auto Transmission • Manual Transmission, Clutch and DMF Other • Electrical • Hybrid Powertrain Technology • Vehicle Personalization
