ALUMOBILITY OUTLINES 8 REASONS WHY ALUMINUM IS THE MATERIAL OF THE FUTURE FOR AUTOMAKERS

Retrieved on:

Wednesday, September 6, 2023

ZURICH, Sept. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the most important reasons the use of aluminum is rapidly gaining traction in the automotive industry is because aluminum has one-third the density of steel, according to Alumobility's recent white paper: When it Comes to Aluminum, Less is More. When comparing two identical vehicles with equal stiffness and load-carrying capacity-- one made of aluminum, the other of steel--the aluminum vehicle body will be up to 45% lighter, which provides many advantages that will affect the future of the automotive industry.

Key Points:

ICE vehicles manufactured from aluminum have better mileage, consume less fuel and produce less emissions.
Because electric vehicle batteries can weigh as much as 2000 pounds, automakers are embracing the lightweighting benefits of aluminum as the market shifts to electrification.
Since vehicles are manufactured with 600 kg or less of aluminum for every metric ton of steel, the energy savings of aluminum are noteworthy.
As outlined, infinitely recyclable, lightweight aluminum provides clearly defined advantages demonstrating its superiority as the material of the future for mobility.
