*Early Vendor Involvement: Activities to propose materials, forming technologies and evaluation methods that match customer’s aims by participating in their development process from the earliest stages.

The Customer Solution Lab (CSL) is a collaborative testing and research facility that promotes technical communication between customers and researchers. The CSL consists of the following areas:1. Exhibition Area displaying advanced materials and solution technologies for automotive manufacturing.2. Study Area for investigating automotive structure and their performances.3. Experimental Area with various welding machines and test apparatus for sheet materials.4. Meeting Area for “Co-Creation” with customers which strongly supports their developments in the next generation.

A new base for EVI* activities in the automotive field
