Necessity is the origin of invention. In the automotive industry, modernization has always set the pace, with oil previously replacing the use of other oils. Currently, vehicles that use fuels as a source of energy are being replaced by electric vehicles.
The sustainable mobility industry is growing and gradually consolidating, thanks to the ability to show how existing practices and processes can no longer be defended against the need to evolve.
At Ulbrinox, we know that limited supplies make it necessary for us to innovate and seek new alternatives.
The idea of relegating the use of fuels once and for all does not sound so absurd. Due to increased efficiency and accessibility, electric vehicles are ready to be part of our day-to-day lives.
It should be noted that the manufacture of such vehicles requires materials with certain characteristics and properties. In the case of metals fundamental for the manufacture of electric cars, aluminum is key.
The increase in the electric vehicle market will proportionally increase the lithium industry and the metals industry, including aluminum, graphite, cobalt, and nickel.
Aluminum in Electric Vehicles
Aluminum in electric vehicles helps to reduce the weight of the electric vehicle. It replaces iron or steel elements and components with lightweight materials such as aluminum alloys, potentially reducing the weight by up to 50%, which makes it more energy efficient.
Similarly, aluminum is on track to develop an optimal battery for electric vehicles. Incorporating other materials for the batteries will make them as efficient as possible.
Finally, at Ulbrinox we are also clear that aluminum competes with steel in the manufacture of components and bodywork of the electric vehicle. Although, aluminum being lighter than steel contributes to better energy efficiency, aluminum is more expensive.
At Ulbrinox we have extensive experience and capacity to provide the aluminum the industry needs. Contact us for a quote on this website or check out our aluminum products.
