June 4 (Bloomberg) --- Bigger is not always better. Ford is proving that with the launch of the new F-150 pick-up truck. By using aluminum instead of steel the truck has dropped 700 pounds. And the company is going a step further. Ford is experimenting with mixed materials including aluminum and carbon fiber in the new Fusion Concept. Bloomberg's Matt Miller went to Ford's HQ to find out how 'lightweighting' is helping to enhance performance and make cars more sustainable. (Source: Bloomberg)
