Growing Importance in Cars and Trucks
Aluminium is becoming increasingly important in both passenger and commercial vehicles due to its many performance advantages. Its role is expanding especially quickly in electric vehicles, where aluminium already accounts for nearly 30% of the material composition, compared to approximately 10% in traditional combustion-engine vehicles. By supporting lightweight vehicle design, aluminium contributes directly to improving the driving range and overall efficiency of electric mobility.
Aluminium Driving the Future
of E-Mobility
Aluminium castings are playing a major role in the development of e-mobility thanks to their low weight and excellent heat dissipation properties. In electric vehicles, they help reduce total vehicle mass while increasing energy efficiency. At the same time, aluminium’s high mechanical strength allows the production of lightweight yet highly complex components that improve performance and reliability. These solutions are essential for creating more sustainable, efficient, and future-oriented mobility systems.
What are the key properties of aluminium castings
in e-mobility?
- Lightweight aluminium construction helps increase the range of electric vehicles
- Aluminium’s corrosion resistance makes it an ideal material for vehicle production
- Weight savings: aluminium offers a significantly higher strength-to-weight ratio than steel
- Resource-efficient, as it can be almost fully remelted and reused at the end of its life cycle
Examples of aluminium castings
for e-mobility
Examples
- Housings for e-motors
- Battery housings / battery trays
- Chassis components
- Body components
