摘要

Representatives from Honda, Nissan, and Toyota shared the stage on November 10th with members from DaimlerChrysler, Ford Motor Company, and General Motors to share best practices and discuss ways to further accelerate the use of aluminum in automobiles at the second annual Auto Aluminum Technology Forum in Dearborn, MI. The forum was hosted by The Aluminum Association Auto & Light Truck Group. Engineers from Honda, Nissan, and Toyota kicked off the event with individual presentations on their respective visions for auto aluminum and specific techniques that each use to increase the use of aluminum in their automobiles. A lively panel discussion-with participants from all present automakers-wrapped up the session and provided for an exchange of ideas and experiences between the North American and Japanese companies.
