Chassis and Mechanical Parts
In the automotive industry, lightweighting results in reduced fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. For years, Constellium Decin plant’s aluminium products have been helping the automotive industry with aluminium solutions for intelligent material lightweighting.
Equipping automotive manufacturers for the future
The major challenges facing today’s automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers are to reduce CO2 emissions and fuel consumption.
These have been driven by stricter CO2 regulations, end-consumer demand for greener vehicles, rising fuel prices, and the scarcity of fossil fuels. Intelligent material lightweighting plays a key role in helping OEMs respond.
Aluminium as a solution
Aluminium’s lightness and strength-weight ratio in addition to endless recyclability make it the material of choice for lightweighting in automotive applications. Thanks to years of experience, Constellium Decin plant has extensive expertise in optimizing these benefits.
In vehicles, aluminium’s strength and lightness can be translated into lower fuel consumption and fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
Constellium Decin plant provides highly specialized tubes, bars and profiles which are enhanced by a portfolio of specialized alloys. One example is Stanal®, a lead-free machining alloy which has improved computer numerical controlled (CNC) machinability, allowing for higher productivity.
