§ Increased safety and <strong>com</strong>fort feature content significantly<br />
adds weight and costs to state-of-the-art vehicles<br />
§ A 100 kg reduction in vehicle mass can lower the<br />
CO2 emissions by as much as 10 g/km with additional<br />
benefits in vehicle dynamic behaviour (even braking)<br />

§ Total cost of development, production and service<br />
§ Common parts and platforms offer economies of scale<br />
