Abstract
The continuing necessity in application of new materials and processes has contributed to the growth in R&D areas and requires many research efforts from universities and institutes. In this sense, it is intended to address the current situation of materials and processes of the Brazilian automotive sector in view of the global evolution, visualizing the lagging behind of our companies and the opportunities present in this field. Areas such as welding and joining, processing of ultra high strength steels - UHSS, the intensive use of aluminum and the increasing demand in the use of composites are the main points of this discussion, as well as the development of the additive manufacturing technology within medium to long term scenarios.
