Automotive Aluminium
Aluminum extrusion for the automotive industry
Aluminium is increasingly present in the automotive value chain and one of the reasons is the need for it to be more sustainable, so that it contributes to energy renewal and the promotion of an efficient economy.
In addition, its lightness allows the design to be optimised and the total weight to be substantially reduced, reducing fuel consumption, and its resistance and absorption capacities make it a safer means of transport with guarantees of protection.
From the spoiler to the electrical wiring or the batteries. This is a complex area in which precision is a fundamental characteristic, since the components must respect the requirements set by the customer and, for everything to fit, the sum of the tolerances of each process cannot exceed that of the final part.
We know your priorities
- Versatility and malleability of the material that allows different design options to develop optimized car shapes.
- Good strength-to-weight ratio, so that less material achieves efficiency, especially in the manufacture of batteries, as they are made up of more elements.
- Mechanical strength to extend the life of the vehicle.
- Machining facilities.
- Security optimization.
- Good reflectivity of light and heat.

Sustainable aluminium
One of the most important challenges of the automotive industry is to comply with increasingly stringent regulations for polluting gas emissions.
The combination of alloys and improved manufacturing techniques have boosted the useof aluminium in automobiles, along with society’s concern for sustainability and environmental impact.
Thus, the circular aluminium production process that we develop at Extrugasa, makes the material one of the most popular solutions for the means of mobility of the future.
In addition, electric cars are gaining relevance and interest and compete in performance with petrol vehicles, meeting or exceeding the same safety standards, so the use of a sustainable material in their manufacture gives a differential value.
