Design & Lightweighting
Built for structural efficiency and repeatable door testing
This ATS page is positioned for engineering teams working on lighter vehicle architectures without compromising structural strength, access-system durability, or platform integration.
It combines three focused product categories that are often connected during development programs: chassis component optimization, power train integration, and electromobility-ready lightweight design support.
Coverage
Three Product Areas Covered on This Page
Power Train
Packaging-aware layouts that balance mass distribution, NVH behaviour, mounting strategy, and system-level test readiness.
Electromobility
Battery-ready and EV-oriented design studies focused on efficient structures, energy use, thermal constraints, and future-ready mobility platforms.
Product 01
Chassis Component
Chassis components form the structural backbone for door fitment, hinge support, latch alignment, and long-term body integrity. In lightweighting programs, the focus is not only on reducing mass but also on preserving stiffness in the exact areas that absorb repeated opening, closing, vibration, and load transfer.
ATS can position this product for OEMs and engineering teams that need better body-side durability, attachment-point validation, and confidence in how lighter materials behave during real-world door testing cycles.
Product 02
Power Train
Power train design directly influences packaging space, underbody architecture, mounting loads, and the way structural zones around the passenger compartment are engineered. When lightweighting is the target, these systems must work together without introducing instability, unwanted vibration, or service-access problems.
On this page, ATS can use the power train section to show how drivetrain integration, structural support, and validation planning come together during product development and door-system performance studies.
Product 03
Electromobility
Electromobility programs introduce new packaging constraints through batteries, cooling loops, power electronics, and high-voltage routing. These changes affect vehicle weight balance and often reshape how the side structure, floor design, and door region are engineered.
ATS can position this category as support for EV-ready architecture studies where lightweight structures, efficient packaging, and robust validation are essential for the next generation of mobility platforms.
One ATS page that connects chassis stiffness, power train packaging, and electromobility-led lightweight design.

FAQs
1. What products are covered on this page?
This page covers three ATS product areas: Chassis Component, Power Train, and Electromobility.
2. Why is lightweighting important in door testing programs?
Because lighter structures can change stiffness, load paths, and fatigue response around hinges, latch zones, and side-body reinforcement areas.
3. How does power train integration affect body design?
It influences packaging space, mounting loads, vibration behaviour, and the overall distribution of structural mass across the vehicle.
4. Why is electromobility included in this page?
EV platforms introduce battery, thermal, and high-voltage packaging constraints that directly affect lightweight structure planning and platform validation.
