With automotive companies everywhere searching to cut cost without compromising the quality of the product, hydroforming is vast becoming a credible manufacturing process. India’s largest automobile company rolls out the new Tata Aria, built on the X2 chassis produced through hydroforming. This process has given the frame a stronger structure while removing unneeded weight from the frame. Despite being longer and wider than its competition, the Aria is nearly 200kg lighter thanks in part to the lighter hydroformed chassis. |
