Increasingly used for cars and trucks
Aluminum is becoming more and more popular in cars and trucks. The share is steadily increasing due to its significant advantages. In electric vehicles in particular, the proportion continues to rise. In an electric vehicle, the aluminum content is around 30%, compared to about 10% in a conventional combustion engine vehicle. The lightweight construction made possible by aluminum is a key factor in increasing the range of electric vehicles.
With aluminum comes more progress in e-mobility
Aluminum casting is revolutionizing e-mobility through its lightweight properties and excellent thermal conductivity. When used in electric vehicles, it reduces overall weight and increases energy efficiency. The high strength of aluminum casting also enables the production of complex but lightweight components, which enhances vehicle performance. These innovative applications significantly contribute to advancing the future of sustainable and efficient mobility.
What are the advantageous properties of aluminum casting's in e-mobility?
- Lightweight construction with aluminum increases the range of electric vehicles
- Aluminum is corrosion resistant, making it the ideal material for vehicle production
- Weight savings: the weight-to-strength ratio of aluminum is significantly better than that of steel
- Resource-friendly, since it can be almost entirely remelted and reused at the end of its life cycle
