      Select aluminium for a more sustainable automotive future

      The carbon footprint of your electric vehicle is shaped by where the materials come from and how they are produced. Low-carbon aluminium is a key enabler to reducing the environmental impact of cars from the first kilometer onward.

      We have turned the corner into a new transport paradigm. Driven by increasingly restrictive regulation to combat carbon emissions and improve air quality with emission-free driving, the future over the next two decades looks to be going clearly in the direction of e-mobility.

      In this white paper, you will learn how low-carbon aluminium can help you achieve your weight-saving targets, as well as reduce the carbon footprint of your vehicle from a life-cycle perspective.

       

       

      …the best option to achieve optimum life-cycle sustainability is using certified low-carbon aluminium with a low GWP of 3-4 kg CO2e/kg Al.

      Some of the key topics discussed in the white paper are:

      • Light-weighting to increase range and reduce cost
      • Carbon footprint of electric vehicles from a life-cycle perspective and why material selection is key
      • Knowing where the materials in your vehicle come from and how they are produced matters. The white paper enables you to ask the right questions of your material suppliers
      • Aluminium is not just aluminium – low-carbon aluminium will help you reach your emission targets
