Design for assembly at the New York City Autoshow

Abstract

The annual International New York City Autoshow is one of the largest automotive exhibitions in the USA. This year more than ten new concept cars and several hundred new automotive design ideas and products were demonstrated for the first time in the USA, and to the international public. This brief report is only an insight to some of the selected trends in design for assembly, manufacturing, quality (commonly referred to as DFx), concurrent engineering and sensor technology applications, ideas and solutions in various new concept cars, planned as production models for 2002 or later, as well as in some current models that are already in the showrooms.
