Michel Dumerin, NRC's Minister of Automotive and Ground Transportation, stated that Canada is a leading aluminum alloy manufacturer in the world and has the opportunity to use aluminum alloys as a lighter vehicle component to lead the world. This program will support Canadian manufacturers to develop lighter parts and structural parts that will make vehicles more fuel efficient, safer and greener.
The new "Lightweight Land Transport Vehicle Lightweighted Plan", with a total investment of 45 million Canadian dollars, will develop, validate and deploy advanced aluminum alloy technology and incorporate new aluminum alloy components into the next-generation vehicle manufacturing process. The successful implementation of the plan will reduce the overall weight of the transport industry by 10% over the next eight years.
At the annual meeting of the Auto Parts Manufacturers Association in Windsor, Ontario, the NRC also announced that it will establish a new research and development alliance to unite with all industrial partners involved in the manufacturing supply chain to jointly solve advanced aluminum alloy molding, Technical issues such as durability and component assembly.
Automakers are currently trying to find innovative ways to build lighter vehicles to meet the increasingly stringent new regulations for fuel efficiency. Such as the United States CAFE (corporate average fuel economy) regulation requirements, by 2025 to reach the average fuel economy of 4.3 liters per hundred kilometers. Lightweight vehicles are considered to be a more promising means for the transportation industry to meet these regulatory requirements.
