Reduced Weight, Increased Possibilities

Lightweighting isn’t just about fuel efficiency anymore. It’s not just about the chassis either. As you strive to incorporate the most advanced systems and materials literally at vehicle occupants’ fingertips, lightweighting is vital for automotive interiors too. 3M continually develops adhesive and sound-absorbing technologies that help you meet your most daunting challenges: joining advanced and dissimilar materials, effectively bonding sensors and other equipment, or reducing NVH to name just a few. All while reducing vehicle weight.
