The transportation sector alone consumes more oil than is produced domestically.  Reducing the weight of the passenger car, while maintaining safety and driveability, would make the single greatest impact on U.S. petroleum use.  For example, a weight reduction of 900 lb. in a typical family car (reflecting extensive use of aluminum) could reduce oil consumption by 1.1 million barrels per day (MBPD), or 9%, in 2010.  The aerospace sector has long been involved in lightweight materials, such as aluminum and polymer composites.  Barriers to widespread use of these materials are primarily cost and formability.  Teaming of aerospace and automotive sectors is particularly relevant now.  The aerospace sector is being downsized because of the &quot;&quot;peace dividend.&quot;&quot;  The U.S. automotive sector is under intense competitive pressures from foreign producers.  This paper reviews transportation fuel consumption trends, discusses the impact of different vehicle weight reduction strategies on oil consumption, and outlines potential areas of cooperative R&amp;D in lightweight vehicle structures for energy savings and national competitiveness.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31.0.
