Stainless steel is superior in a number of ways. Research within the Next Generation Vehicle Project has shown that it is a material with striking potential. It is extremely strong, which is a necessary property when it comes to safety issues. In addition stainless steel is also unique in that it is very processable. It can be formed to complex parts, and on top of that be made extremely thin. This is not only cost effective, but also in full compliance with the project´s environmental
aims.
