Automakers are accelerating their shift to aluminum away from other materials for new car and light truck construction, as they seek to safely and cost-effectively lower the weight of vehicles, according to a new survey of North American automakers conducted by Ducker Worldwide and reported on by the Aluminum Association. The survey indicated that aluminum is quickly gaining market share in hoods, trunks, doors and bumpers while already dominating powertrain and wheel applications.
