Partnership & Collaborative programs: FastLite, the lightweight program launched by french OEMs for Body-In-White applications

Objectives: build a B-Pillar composite demonstrator• Develop a glass or carbon reinforced Polyamide composite material• Develop part manufacturing and integration process to meet automotive cycle

times• Validate structural crash performance

TODAYB-pilar

Using End of life


The introduction of a recycled polyamide reduces substantially the part’s environmental impact during it whole life

(from -9% to – 28%). It has been demonstrated for all evaluated points.

Substantial reduction of environmental impact for all indicators
