Targets of ARENA2036

Active Research Environment for the Next Generation of Automobiles in 2036

ARENA2036 is the internationally leading research campus, where excellent partners in scientific andindustrial research focus on production and lightweight engineering in the context of Industry 4.0.
 Development of disruptive projects & innovations
a whole new thinking of mobility and its creation
 Research along the entire value chain
from product to production, from design to recycling Interdisciplinary cluster of excellent partners
automotive, mechanical & aircraft engineering, IT,
plastics, production, social sciences …

 “Industry on Campus”
Establishing a new collaboration platform Campus concept with shared, project andscience spaces
employees from scientific institutions &enterprises work together for at least 3days a week

Implementation of the research campus concept in ARENA2036:
ARENA2036 building

Leading technology enterprises and research
institutes as partners

Multi-material lightweight designand value chain systems(Industry 4.0)

The ARENA2036 Vision
The demand for sustainability and individuality radically changes the products and the production environmentof tomorrow. ARENA2036 focuses on two research fields:
Mobility2036:

Production2036:

Automobile with highly
integrated lightweight modules

Versatile production
without production line Multi-Material lightweight design by way offunctional integration

 Versatile production

 New materials and joining technologies

 Humans in the factory of the future Continuous digitalization of all parts and processes

 Micro-factories

 Industry 4.0 research and implementation

 New concepts for autonomous and crashless cars
Industry 4.0 from development to production

Automobile research meets the demand of the mobility of the future – but not only. Besides mobility itself, its whole creation is about to be changed.

ARENA2036 – the biggest automotive research factory in the world

ARENA2036 Building
Research space of about 10.000 m²

Materials and Design

Simulation and Digital Prototype

Production and Research Factory

New types of Cooperation

Weight reduction
through functional integration and newmaterials
New manufacturing methods of lightweightcomponents
Cost reduction
Decrease of logistics and installation costs by
reducing the number of parts

Reduction of the simulation time and weight
50% faster simulations and 10% lighter designs
through better component optimization

Adaptability of production
Setup of new revolutionary production
concepts of the future

Cost savings
through Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM):
faster development process, fewer scrap parts,
prototypes, and development loops

Hybrid production concept
