The effective weight components application on the automotive chassis design indirectly lays emphasis on fuel economy and low carbon dioxide emissions. Weight reduction of light material profiles, such as carbon fibers and aluminum, in these vehicles translates into lower fuel consumption and environmental impact. Among all the factors with regards to above-average weight reduction, the highest value has been attributed to batteries' performance improvement and the total range in electric vehicles. 

Advancing automotive technology, including developing more complex driver-assistance systems, such as ADAS, and autonomous driving capabilities, are all driving the need for increasingly more sophisticated chassis systems. The chassis represents a critical component of today's automobile designs due to these new technologies requiring strong, yet flexible, chassis designs to house sensors, wiring, and other components. The requirement for advanced chassis solutions will therefore be expected to grow in response to these new technological developments. 

Advanced automotive chassis, especially those made from lightweight materials such as aluminum or carbon fiber, are expensive to produce. The overall cost of producing automobiles is increased by the high prices of these materials and the complex manufacturing processes. Such costs may be a discouragement, especially for producers who want to keep the price low or attract price-conscious consumers. 

As cars become more technologically advanced, it becomes even more challenging to integrate new technologies such as electric drivetrains or autonomous systems with conventional chassis designs. The necessity for accuracy and personalization during the designing and integrating steps may lead to increased manufacturing time and difficulties. This barrier could be up against a small producer with less funds or experience.
