Self Study Program 239 – AUDI A2 – Body Construction and Function
VAG SSP 239. This is achieved with a construction that allows a large degree of automation at the raw body shell production stage. Highest standards in terms of rigidity and crash response – “best in class”.
The Audi-Space-Frame ASF in the A2
Audi A2 development targets
Weight savings of at least 40 % with respect to a comparable steel body as a precondition for a future 3-litre vehicle. Using the full potential of lightweight construction.
Measures
This is achieved with an aluminium Space-Frame body design. This is made possible with the use of further developed semi-finished aluminium products: cast aluminium, extruded profiles and rolled sheet metal.
Economic production for the world’s first large-series production of aluminium vehicles.
