LMC lightweight construction – Less weight, more possibilities

Experience boundless freedom on the road with vehicles that weigh less, offer more possibilities, and remain uncompromisingly safe. Welcome to the world of LMC lightweight construction concept!
For us, lightweight construction is not a trend – it’s a conviction. Our vehicles are the result of precise engineering and cutting-edge technologies. This allows us to create more space for your travel experience while maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety.

Why choose lightweight construction? Because every kilogram counts

At LMC, lightweight construction is more than a trend – it’s our philosophy. Every kilogram saved brings real benefits for you. With less weight, you have more payload capacity for all the things that make your travels truly enjoyable. A lighter vehicle consumes less fuel, produces lower emissions, and generally offers enhanced safety through better handling. Lightweight design also supports sustainability by conserving resources.

Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a long adventure, LMC’s lightweight construction gives you the freedom to load your vehicle as you wish, without unpleasant surprises at the scale. This makes every journey an unforgettable experience, combining flexibility, comfort, and peace of mind.

The benefits for your travels

  • More payload / freedom: Bring along what matters most – from e-bikes to SUP boards.
  • Generally lower fuel consumption: Save money and protect the environment with reduced fuel use.
  • Flexibility under 3.5 tons: Class B driver’s license is sufficient – no costly upgrades required.
  • Lower tolls and ferry fees: Lighter vehicles save you money on the road.
  • Durability: Less material wear means lower lifecycle costs.
  • More sustainability: Less weight protects the environment and conserves resources.
For us, lightweight design is not just about reducing weight – it’s about using materials intelligently to maximize benefits for our customers. Every gram saved creates more payload without compromising stability, safety, or comfort. Our solutions are the result of precise engineering, thoughtful construction, and a commitment to building more sustainably.

How we create lightweight vehicles:

At LMC, we rely on high-tech materials that are both robust and lightweight.

By using light materials such as poplar wood and plywood in the form of sandwich panels, we successfully reduce weight while maintaining exceptional stability. Some of our furniture components feature honeycomb panels, which provide additional weight savings. Please note that the choice of materials depends on the specific model range, meaning not every material is used across all series.

Our GRP roof is another example of innovative lightweight design. By precisely adjusting the fiber composition, we have created a structure that combines low weight with outstanding strength and durability. Instead of plywood panelling around the windows, we now partly use felt, which is not only lighter but also adds functional benefits. In some model ranges, even frame extensions feature weight-reducing holes, saving every gram without compromising stability.

At LMC, quality always comes first. Every innovation is thoroughly tested to ensure the proven stability and long-lasting performance our customers expect. Lightweight construction at LMC means efficiency without compromise – combining smart engineering with superior quality.
