As OEMs are being tasked with light weighting their vehicles, they are making significant changes in vehicle construction and technology. For the 2016 model year, a major trend is the use of mixed materials, such as aluminum combined with ultrahigh-strength steel (UHSS) and carbon fiber. These changes will fuel a Technical TsunamiTM of advanced systems and will be a game changer for the repair industry that is already focused on improving safety.
