Why Forged Aluminum Components Are a "Must-Have" for Automakers Amid the Auto Lightweight Trend?

2025-12-03

With 18 years of experience in aluminum forging, we focus on delivering lightweight solutions for global automakers. Our factory is certified by IATF 16949, supporting 50+ OEMs in reducing vehicle weight while maintaining safety standards.

Quick Answer

Yes — forged aluminum components are a must-have for automakers in the lightweight trend: they’re 3x lighter than steel (retaining 90% strength), boost EV range by 7-12%, and cut production emissions by 9%—all while passing 5-star crash tests.

Why Lightweight = Non-Negotiable for Automakers

Global regulations (e.g., EU 2030 CO₂ cut of 55%) and EV consumer demand (longer range) force automakers to reduce vehicle weight without sacrificing safety.

Emissions & EV Range Pressures

A 10% weight reduction = 6-8% better fuel efficiency (gasoline cars)
A 10% weight reduction = 5-7% longer EV range

Forged Aluminum: The “Must-Have” Solution

Key Advantages for Automakers

Feature of Forged Aluminum	Why It Matters for Automakers
Strength-to-weight ratio (3x lighter than steel, 90% strength)	Extends EV range; cuts fuel/emissions
No internal pores (forged, not cast)	Absorbs 2x impact energy (passes 5-star crash tests)
40% less material waste	Reduces annual material costs by $2.3M (100k units/year)

Real-OEM Case Study

A German EV maker replaced 80% of steel chassis parts with our forged aluminum components:

Vehicle weight cut by 16kg
EV range increased from 550km to 616km (12% gain)
Production carbon emissions reduced by 9%

Quick Recap

Forged aluminum components check all boxes for automakers: lightweight, safe, cost-efficient, and compliant with emissions rules — making them a non-negotiable choice in the auto lightweight trend.
