SUMMARY:New Research: Understanding the U.S. Vehicle Affordability Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Vehicle affordability is a critical concern for consumers\, automakers\, and policymakers\, but looking only at sticker prices tells an incomplete story. This comprehensive white paper examines over two decades of data to unpack the true drivers of new vehicle affordability. By analyzing household income\, financing\, production costs\, and total ownership expenses\, the research reveals a nuanced market reality where competing financial pressures dictate who can participate in the new vehicle market.

SUMMARY:SAA 10th Annual Materials Innovations Summit
DESCRIPTION:The automotive industry is evolving\, and across ICE\, hybrid\, and EV platforms\, automakers and suppliers face the same challenge: improving efficiency\, performance\, and safety while controlling weight and cost. \nModern lightweighting demands balancing performance\, manufacturability\, cost\, durability\, and complex architectures — with no single material providing the answer\, as steel\, aluminum\, composites\, plastics\, and enabling technologies each offer unique advantages that must work together to optimize the vehicle as a whole. \nJoin us for the 10th Annual Materials Innovation Summit\, where industry experts explore the technologies and opportunities shaping the next generation of automotive lightweighting.
