Summary:
— Phase 1 technology and component evaluations complete; four technical
specification options were considered: Future Steel Vehicle-1 (FSV)
(battery electric vehicle and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicle); and
FSV-2 (plug-in hybrid-electric vehicle and fuel cell electric vehicle)
— Phase 2 vehicle concepts, to be completed in 2010, will provide
optimized steel designs that meet or exceed future environmental, fuel
economy, safety and weight standards
As worldwide demands for affordable, safe and high-efficiency vehicles surge,
the global steel industry’s WorldAutoSteel automotive group, supported by
AISI’s Steel Market Development Institute, is launching Phase 2 of its FSV
aimed at helping automakers optimize new propulsion technologies that will
soon enter show rooms.
