Why We are Here Today
• Promote a holistic, multi-material approach combining
strong lightweight materials like aluminum with smart
design and advanced powertrains
• Agenda
– Benefits of Lightweighting with Aluminum
– Results of 2011 Ducker Survey of Automakers on Aluminum
Content in Passenger Vehicles
– Q & A

Vehicle Make-Up Is Changing
5www.aluminumintransportation.org
• Two main factors
leading automakers
to rethink vehicle
design– Consumer demand and
desire for increased fuel
efficiency coupled with a
need to continuously
improve safety, function
and comfort
– New, stringent fuel
economy standards

Automakers Confirm Plans to
Downweight
• Audi: To migrate aspects of the ASF® technology currently in the A8
to higher volume vehicles like the A6
• BMW: To use more aluminum to cut weight
• Ford: To trim 250-750 lbs. out of each model year
• GM: To trim 500 lbs by 2016 and 1,000 lbs. by 2020
• Jaguar Land Rover: To construct all future vehicles with aluminum
bodies
• Nissan: To reduce 15% of vehicle weight

Ducker Study Conclusions
• Consumer demand and fuel economy regulations are
driving a dramatic increase in aluminum usage
– Weight savings from aluminum and AHSS for body parts
• Automakers working hard to improve fuel economy and
maintain or improve size, function, safety and comfort
• Weight reduction with aluminum is a cost effective part of
the solution

Ducker Study Conclusions
• By 2025, the average vehicle will get lighter by 400 lbs.
– Aluminum and AHSS
– Aluminum
• Sheet , extrusions
• Closures, body-in-white, bumper, and suspension components
• Aluminum will grow to 16% of curb weight
– 343 pounds in 2012
– 550 pounds in 2025
– Increase of 207 lbs. in 13 years
– Industry added 200 lbs. per vehicle from 1990 to 2010
