To test the potential of this type of structure as a way of joining different materials, such as plastics and metal, the scientists made a series of joints from metal and composites based on those seen in the beetle. They say their designs enhanced the strength and toughness of the materials.

As demand for import-dependent foreign-made components rises, Chinese manufacturers need to be sure their components offer the same benefits that American-made ones can. That benefits at the local and national level. The Chinese firms can charge consumers less for domestic cars equipped with Chinese-designed components; less for our cars or products with a largely Chinese-made component; or more for goods made mostly in the United States. If the leading-edge designs then spread through China, the Chinese manufacturers will then reap the benefits elsewhere in the world.

STATEMENT OF EXTRA INFORMATION

Considering the strong talent pool gained during the industrial reforms in the period from 1997 to 2005, can the vision for the study on the development of the Chinese car industry come true?

The scientific research and field evaluation carried out under the ISCF and CAMS+ program both in the field of automotive engineering and in primary education institutions for fields related to the application of computer science in car design is aimed at education and development. This implementation is particularly important for young engineering talents in China and needs to be further extended.

To demonstrate the feasibility of a broad adoption in the climate of large-scale car production, the famous body of the industry work plan is being drafted.

Criteria (for 2007 and beyond):

China will deliver and develop the following key projects:

Car design and architecture (via BACS and CAMS+ program) National steering committee for the development of the car industry concept of the light, fun and high-efficiency car; apply the public financing strategy for the advanced car development FLC event in September 2007 for delegations from selected industries; develop a strategic steering committee of leading governments, bodies and community members for the development of the Chinese car industry and a safety and emergency rescue system for all new cars; strengthen the culture of public fashion management for the development of the car industry; develop a technical collaboration and cooperation team of the University of Science and Technology (US), National Chiao Tung University and others on this specific technology group Car development for defense, multi-purpose, area and wilderness engineering; increase cooperation between the related enterprises in Honda previously established under the joint stock company offshoot U.S.F.
