From increased fuel economy and reduced carbon emissions to crash protection without compromise and enhanced driving performance, Alcoa aluminium builds a better car, truck or trailer or. All other factors equal, lighter cars accelerate faster, stop faster, and have better handling – that’s why many top performance cars are all-aluminium.
Aluminium's light-weight saves fuel costs. For every 10% reduction in vehicle weight, there is a 5-7% fuel savings. Alcoa aluminium provides even greater benefits to hybrid vehicles with advanced powertrains, improving fuel economy by 13.5% compared to an equivalent hybrid vehicle comprised of steel.
Alcoa aluminium is infinitely recyclable and contributes to significant reductions in CO2 emissions. Using more aluminium reduces the overall weight of the vehicle, which significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with global warming.
