Lightening the load
The heavier a vehicle is, the more fuel it consumes – and that means more emissions. There are now around 210 million cars in China alone, so at an average weight of 1400 kg that adds up to 300 billion kilograms of moved mass in just one country. Reducing numbers like that has a huge impact on the environment.
We want to protect the climate with energy-efficient vehicles, and our die-casting solutions are helping to bring about cleaner and more efficient mobility for everyone.
Die-casting solutions for lighter vehicles
We are a leading global provider of die-casting technology for the automotive industry. Lightweight components made of aluminum, and lightweight design of engine blocks, shock towers and other parts can help improve mileage and dramatically cut fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
Making vehicles lighter is an obvious and simple way to cut their energy consumption. Around 60% of our Advanced Materials business is generated by the automotive industry, with our solutions and technologies playing a key role in helping manufacturers produce lighter, more energy-efficient vehicles and so reduce harmful emissions.
Our long-standing and close personal relationship with Bühler ensures a continuous in-flow of top-notch technology into our organization.
