  • Aluminium expected to accelerate worldwide adoption of electric and self-driving vehicles

    The larger the vehicle, the heavier the battery and casing required to optimise the EV’s range. It is the larger EVs, i.e., sedans, SUVs, taxis, trucks and buses, that will realise the greatest benefits from a steel-to-aluminium conversion. In the U.S., a vehicle’s gross weight determines which class of commercial driver’s license (CDL) will be required. Without lightweighting, some EVs could demand a higher-class license or additional endorsements due to the added weight of the battery.
