The body as the structure-giving vehicle element forms the basis for the brand-defining design, which is defined by exterior scopes. Our team bundles many years of expertise from these two areas of vehicle development to offer all relevant components and functions from the early concept phase to series maturity from a single source. The concentrated know-how of our department includes the application of all common materials – from steel and aluminum to mixed construction and CFRP. Thus, we are able to pay attention not only to an optimal ratio of weight, function, and costs in the early development phase but also to the manufacturability and sustainability of the material mix used.

Focus
The focus of our activity lies on the independent development and validation of components and functions for body and exterior systems up to the final release recommendation coordinated across specialist departments. Our range of services covers body structures, access and exit systems, vision systems, and all add-on parts – from requirements analysis and conceptualization to implementation and validation. The use of modern virtual methods guarantees a high degree of maturity of our work results in early development phases, while strict adherence to agreed processes ensures their high level of quality and safety.
Strongly solution-oriented and closely coordinated with other specialist departments, we thus work on realizing the mobility of tomorrow.
- Body structures (platform and upper body) taking into account the HV battery as a structural element
- Access and exit systems (doors and flaps, vision and roof systems)
- Vision systems (glazing, wiper/washer systems, mirrors)
- Add-on parts (front, rear, side, underbody, engine compartment)
Realization
As a reliable partner, we support our clients in putting their mobility visions on the road. Renowned examples of jointly realized vehicle projects prove the success of this trusting cooperation:
