A typical approach to save vehicle weight is the substitution of conventional materials for higher-strength materials of the same density or by materials of lesser density but similar strength. In the first case, less material is needed(as with high-strength steel) ;in the second, the higher strength-to-weight ratio of lighter metals(aluminum, titanium, magnesium) results in direct weight reduction.  3, record 1, English, - strength%2Dto%2Dweight%20ratio

En général, on réduit le poids d'un véhicule automobile en substituant à des matériaux classiques des matériaux de plus grande résistance mais de même densité ou des matériaux de densité inférieure mais de résistance similaire. Dans le premier cas, on a besoin d'une plus petite quantité de matériau (d'acier à haute résistance par exemple); dans le second cas, le rapport résistance-poids plus élevé des métaux légers (aluminium, titane, magnésium) a pour effet de réduire directement le poids.  3, record 1, French, - rapport%20r%C3%A9sistance%2Dpoids
