Next-generation Car Technology Innovation at a Glance!
In this era, where next-generation green technologies are in the limelight worldwide, a lot of attention has been paid to technologies focusing not only on the emission of carbon dioxide but also on promoting efficiency.
Under the slogan, “In pursuit of innovation of next-generation automobile technology,” the 2018 Automotive Weight Reduction Technology Fair was held at Kintex II, Ilsan Korea, from February 7 to 9, welcoming auto-industry insiders and workers.
Opening its doors for the third time this year, this exhibition presented a variety of latest technologies for the next generation of the automotive industry ranging from lightweighting processing technologies and molding equipment such as carbon fiber composite materials, fiber reinforced plastics, lightweight classes to various analysis and inspection equipment and software technologies.
During the exhibition, the Materials Machining System Fair was also held featuring light metals, processing equipment, and industrial 3D printers. Also accompanied was the Korea-EU Automotive Lightweighting Technology Advancement Forum attracting a lot of visitors.
In this exhibition hosted by the MICE Forum and conducted by the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) Composite Technology Research Center, Frank Henning, Vice-President of the Fraunhofer ICT, a 
German research institution for chemical technology, and LuIse Karger, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, delivered presentations on the subject of advanced technologies and global trends for automotive lightweighting, heralding a new paradigm.
In addition, the Engineer Open Technology Seminar was held in the exhibition hall, providing an opportunity for sharing information among companies that developed new products and new technologies.
An exhibition official explained, “The 2018 Automotive Weight Reduction Technology Fair was a meaningful event where one could see lightweighting materials and equipment such as carbon fiber composite materials, fiber reinforced plastics, lightweight classes that attract worldwide attention all at one place. It will make this exhibition that leads the development of automotive lightweighting technology at home and abroad and upgrades itself year after year.”
