We encourage industry trends A great team for great progress Our R&D teams work with state-of-the-art design and simulation tools to develop process improvements and increase efficiency. Gestamp’s resistance and reliability testing laboratories use specific machinery to evaluate prototypes of the designed developments. In addition, we have so-called GLABs (“Gestamp Laboratory Cars”), virtual tools for testing new technology and new products. 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 9 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 , 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 2 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 5 4 3 2 1 0 9 8 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 People involved in different projects R&D centres Body, chassis and mechanism programmes were codeveloped in 2019 Patents, utility models and corresponding applications 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 , Check out the video Energy efficiency through weight lightening Thanks to our hot stamping leadership and expertise in multi-material solutions, we offer lighter components that reduce energy consumption and therefore avoid CO2 emissions. Safety improvements Our products significantly improve vehicles’ safety both for the occupants of the vehicle and pedestrians. Electric vehicle One of our main innovations is the battery box for electric vehicles, which meets the highest safety and emissions standards, as well as seal requirements. Check out the video
