AUTOMOTIVE MARKET OFFERS ALUMINUM GOOD OPPORTUNITIES

摘要

The Brazilian aluminum industry has also taken advantage of great opportunities as a supplier to the automotive industry. Although there are no statistics about the delivered quantities and the share of aluminum in the overall metal content of Brazilian cars, it is estimated that each vehicle takes approximately 45 kg of aluminum, i.e. significantly lower than the 145 kg/car (8.7% of the total weight) in the United States in 2012, according to a survey made by Ducker Worldwide.
