Challenge – A complex, heavy trailing arm was slated to be produced in iron for a new light truck BEV. The design by the OEM’s engineering department was feasible but would have weighed more than 66 lbs. (30 kg).
Solution – Using a customer-centric development approach, Mobex Global used its technical capabilities to create an optimized casted and machined preliminary model based off of the OEM’s design data.
Result – The revised part resulted in a weight reduction of 53% and led to a significant win for Mobex Global on this future vehicle program.
