| Abstract Scope |
For over a century, aluminum has played a major role in providing light weight solutions to all forms of transportation. As responsible stewardship of the earth’s resources becomes ever more important, the aluminum industry has come together to define the research and development goals that must be achieved over the coming decade to ensure a sustainable future. Achieving these goals will enable manufacturers to not only optimize the applications in future vehicles, but also maximize the value of the aluminum content in those vehicles as they are removed from service. This roadmap recognizes the changing landscape of the transportation industry dynamics as aluminum content continues increasing its share of automobile mass, and consumer demand and government regulations direct automobile producers away from conventional internal combustion engines to increasingly electrified fleets. |
