Altair honors innovations in sustainability and lightweighting

Ford follows up its top prize in last year's Sustainable Product category - for the Mustang Mach-E - with another electric-vehicle winner, the 2022 F-150 Lightning. The battery-electric variant of Ford's top-selling vehicle is one of six category winners to be honored at the 10th annual Altair Enlighten Awards conducted in partnership with the Center for Automotive Research (CAR).

“The caliber of nominees for this year's Enlighten Award was unparalleled and is a true testament to the investments the automotive industry is making to reach - and even exceed - global sustainability targets,” Richard Yen, Altair's senior VP, product and strategy, said during the awards presentation at CAR's Management Briefing Seminars (MBS) in August. “As we celebrate our tenth year and have evaluated hundreds of worthy entries over the years, we have seen this award evolve from showcasing vehicle lightweighting initiatives to companies now fully embracing sustainability and the commitment to building a net-zero environment and circular economy.”
