Aluminium content in cars up 20% in the last three years

摘要

A new study published by European Aluminium industry aBociation estimates the average aluminium content of European produced cars to reach nearly 180 kg in 2019, meaning a 20% increase since 2016. The study also forecasts the average aluminium content to further increase to almost 200 kg per vehicle by 2025, in line with the most positive scenario that was developed in 2016. The positive outlook and uninterrupted aluminium growth is largely attributed to aluminium’s role in lightweighting cars and as an enabler of electromobility.
