Abstract
This paper shows the development followed for three different structures of urban light electric vehicles. The first one is based in a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) structure, the second one is a multi-material solution including aluminum, magnesium and structural thermoplastic joined by electromagnetic forces and the third one is based on the use of advanced high strength steel. For the three vehicles the design criteria has been to fulfill the frontal and lateral crash tests required for conventional vehicles (M1 category): the ones included in the regulation and the ones made by Euro NCAP.
