Today, auto manufacturers use aluminum engine components and body panels to reduce vehicle weight, but few have the experience with aluminum bodies that Audi has. In 1985, Audi exhibited their first "Aluminum Design Study" of the Audi A8 sedan. In 1993, the "Space Frame Concept Car" shown at the auto show in Frankfurt, followed by an aluminum-bodied Audi A8 production car in 1994. Audi partnered with Alcoa (Aluminum Company of America) in the development of all-aluminum bodies.
The first volume production aluminum car, the Audi A2, was introduced in 1999, with more than 176,000 cars built in the following years. By 2003, Audi had built a quarter of a million cars with aluminum bodies. Now they are going one step further: Audi is producing cars with an aluminum composite space frame. The...

[Corinne Charette] also spoke of the importance of mashups to government as she sees that government will have to use all the tools and resources available to re-use rather than reinvent and to do so more quickly than is its usual habit. She says IM/IT staff will have to use every "asset at your disposal to produce new results" and will need to work together even more than before, as Canada will need to "tighten its belt in the future.
An example of how technology can stimulate new ideas came from the presentation delivered by Loyalist College and the Canada Border Services Agency.

He discovered Second Life, a 3-D virtual world, that allowed him...

After a battle with management, [] began designing his own body styles until Giovanna Barcella came along. In 1931, against his mother's advice, Bertoni married Barcella, closed his shops in Italy and moved to Paris. The moment would prove historic.
He created Citroen's first design studio in the 15th district of Paris, a 15- by 12-metre office. Armed with capital and resources, Bertoni was asked to develop an all-metal body for Citroen's next model, the Traction Avant. With its voluptuous curves, the Avant was a ground-breaking front-wheel-drive car that allowed space for passengers on a light frame.
Bertoni designed one more Citroen, the Ami 6, a vehicle with sharp lines and a rear window design that would influence styling throughout the 1960s. But it did not match t...
