The document discusses trends in the increased use of aluminum in automotive applications to reduce vehicle weight. It notes that aluminum use has grown by an average of 7 pounds per year over the last 40 years. OEMs are looking to use more aluminum to cut 400 pounds from average vehicle weight by 2025 in order to meet fuel economy standards. Aluminum content is expected to double from the current 16% of curb weight to account for 550 pounds per vehicle by 2025.

OEMs efforts to meet 35.5 mpg by 2016 coupled with the
uncertainty surrounding the fuel economy standards beyond
2016 has caused a flurry of down weighting activity in the last two years.
OEMs don’t want expensive alternative powertrains to be forced on consumers,
but they see the commercial and political value of saving weight.
2025 – Average vehicle will get lighter by 400 lbs
- Aluminum: sheet & extrusions/closures, body-in-white, bumper & suspension
- AHSS
Aluminum will grow to 16% of curb weight
- 2012 – 343 lbs / 2025 – 550 lbs
- Industry added 200 lbs per vehicle from 1990 to 2012
- Increase of 207 lbs in 13 years
The aluminum industry has the capacity to support an aluminum intensive fleet
in 2017-2025.
