洲铝业公司（European Aluminium）发布一项新研究《欧洲乘用车的铝含量》，由Ducker Frontier开发的这项研究数据来源包括OEM、供应商和欧洲铝业成员公司。车辆样本包含了BMW 3 Series EV、Jaguar I-Pace、Audi e-tron、Porsche Taycan等11种纯电动车型。 报告指出2019年欧洲生产的汽车的平均铝含量将达到近180公斤，比2016年增加20%。该研究还预测，到2025年每辆车的平均铝含量将进一步增加到近200公斤。铝含量的不断增加及乐观的前景在很大程度上归因于铝在轻量化汽车和电动汽车中的作用。 Carmakers' preference for aluminum is linked to its light weight, which makes cars more energy efficient, whether they are a gas, diesel, or electric vehicle. Due to its inherent strength and ability to absorb crash energy, well-engineered aluminum car parts can be made safer than steel and up to 50% lighter. Lighter cars contribute to reducing CO2 emissions improving fuel efficiency. The study points to electrification as one of the main drivers for future growth of aluminum content in all product forms. Battery boxes, electric motor housings, body closures, and body structures are key applications for increased aluminum penetration in the future. 汽车制造商对铝的偏爱与其重量轻有关，这使汽车无论是汽油、柴油还是电动汽车都更加节能。由于其固有的强度和吸收碰撞能量的能力，精心设计的铝制汽车零件可以比钢更安全，重量减轻多达50%。较轻的汽车有助于减少CO2排放，从而提高了燃油效率。研究指出，电气化是所有产品形式中铝含量未来增长的主要驱动力之一。电池盒、电动机外壳、车身盖和车身结构是未来增加铝渗透的关键应用部位。 "Aluminum is a true enabler of electro-mobility,"said Dieter Höll, chairman Automotive & Transport Board, European Aluminium. "The combination of aluminum sheet, extrusions and castings bring perfect solutions for electric vehicles. Both as protection of the batteries and to reduce the weight of the vehicle to increase its performance or range." 欧洲铝业汽车与运输委员会主席Dieter Höll说："铝是电动汽车的真正推动者。铝板、型材和铸件的结合为电动汽车提供了完美的解决方案。既可以保护电池，又可以减轻车辆的重量，从而提高其性能或续航里程。" Depending on the car segment, the average aluminum content per vehicle is forecasted to increase from at least 2.9 kg by 2025 in the A-segment (mini/compact cars) and up to 38.0 kg in the D-segment (large family cars). The aluminum industry and car manufacturers are collaborating to drive lightweighting into more segments. 根据汽车细分市场的不同，预计每辆车的平均铝含量将从2025年的A级轿车（微型/紧凑型轿车）至少增加2.9公斤，到D级轿车（大型家庭轿车）至少增加38.0公斤。铝行业和汽车制造商正在合作将轻量化发展到更多领域。 During the last two decades, hundreds of new alloys have been developed to better answer the demand of vehicle manufacturers. Higher strength, better formability, and improved energy absorption are a few of the areas the industry is focusing on moving forward. The aluminum industry is also investing in innovations like charging stations and electric power plants that will support the transition to electric mobility. 在过去的二十年中，已经开发出数百种新合金来更好地满足汽车制造商的需求。更高的强度，更好的可成型性和改善的能量吸收是行业正在关注的一些领域。铝工业也在投资创新技术，例如充电站和发电厂，以支持向电动汽车的过渡。
