The HIVOCOMP project is pleased to invite you to its stand at Aachen Body Engineering Days on 23-24 September 2014. 

Benteler-SGL and Bax & Willems, 2 of the 16 project partners, will be there to present the resulting demonstrator parts and explain the opportunities and challenges of CFRP composites for high volume applications in the automotive and other sectors.

The event takes place in the grounds of the RWTH-Aachen university. Together with HIVOCOMP, the (also FP7-backed) DELIVER project will also present its result. a fully electric designed and manufactured delivery van, while BMW is expected to showcase the fully CFRP body of its new electric i8.
