Development trend and key technologies of lightweight automotive wiring harness

386
As global environmental standards continue to strengthen, automakers are vigorously promoting lightweight automobile production. As an important part of automobiles, the lightweight development of automotive wiring harnesses has also become a key breakthrough area. At present, the optimization of sub-components such as wires, connectors, and wiring harness protection, as well as the use of aluminum as a raw material that is lower in cost and lighter in weight than copper, has become a hot research and development direction for lightweight wiring harnesses. In the future, if the relevant technical problems of aluminum wires are solved, lightweight aluminum wiring harnesses are expected to become the main technical route for automotive wiring harnesses.
