Introduction
• The EAA has commissioned Ducker Worldwide to assess the aluminium
content in cars produced in Europe
• Data is collected on a “bottom-up” basis, meaning the market has been
analyzed on an OEM, platform-by-platform and product-by-product basis
• Primary research with OEMs, automotive suppliers, aluminium producers
and other expert sources
• A sample of 57 vehicle models representing 44 % of the 2012 EU forecast
production were chosen for the detailed analysis
• The sample result was then extrapolated to EU27 average content
• In 2012 the average car produced in EU 27 contains 140 kg Aluminium

Main development 2006-2012
• The total increase in EU light
vehicle aluminium content from
2006 to 2012 is estimated at
19.2 kg or 16%
• The increase in aluminium content
in North American cars for the
same period is estimated at 13 kg
or 9%
• 40% of the aluminium growth in
the sample results from structural
components in car body and
suspension. Currently, the EU
leads the world in the use of high-
tech aluminum automotive
components

Total EU 2012 140 kg/vehicle • Aluminium extruded and rolled products
are expected to represent 40-45% of the
mix in the longer term
• Rolled aluminium products are mainly used
for heat exchangers and closures.
• Aluminium bonnets and fenders are now
“state of the art”. 21% of the cars produced
today in Europe have an aluminium bonnet
• Aluminium extrusions are particularly used
in crash management systems (CMS).
Nearly 40% of front CMS produced today
are made of aluminium.

200 2012 Forecast 2015 - 2020 • Ducker forecasts that the
average aluminium content could
rise to 180 kg/car in 2020 if
lightweighting was encouraged
• This assumes that the aluminium
penetration into small and
medium cars follows the
evolution recorded in the upper
segments

Required increase of aluminum content to reach an average of 180 kg / car
A, B and C segment are
key to continued growth

Conclusion
• The amount of aluminium used per car produced in Europe
almost tripled between 1990 and 2012, increasing from 50kg to
140 kg
• This amount is predicted to rise to 160 kg by 2020, and could
even reach as much as 180 kg if small and medium cars follow
the evolution recorded in the upper segments
• The weight savings achieved thanks to todays aluminium content
leads to an average annual fuel saving of 65 litres per car
• “The EU currently leads the world in the use of high tech
aluminium automotive components” concludes Richard Schultz,
Managing Director of Ducker Worldwide.
