Alumobility to present advance aluminium use in automotive at EuroCarBody’s 24th Global Car Body Benchmarking Conference

Alumobility, a global ecosystem of leading aluminium and downstream technology partners focusing on advanced use of aluminium by automakers, will present the results of a case study on Superior Economic and Sustainability Performance of an Aluminum Vehicle Body, including cost of ownership and life cycle analysis, demonstrating a Last-Mile Delivery Vehicle (LMDV) concept.

LMDV is the final step of the entire supply chain process of a vehicle, where the item is delivered from a local warehouse or fulfilment centre for the final delivery to customers.

The presentation will be showcased at the EuroCarBody’s 24th Global Car Body Benchmarking Conference on October 18-20 at Bad Nauheim, Germany, by three Alumobility representatives Andreas Afseth (Constellium/Alumobility, Karisma Leftinger (Novelis/Alumobility), and Dr. Thomas Rudlaff (Alumobility). The objective is to share knowledge and encourage for the application of aluminium in the automobile industry.

"Presenting the results of this important study to an international audience of automotive engineers, designers and manufacturers at the EuroCarBody conference makes perfect sense for Alumobility. Our first and foremost goal is to share the latest aluminium automotive technology, including forming and joining, with the automotive world to advance aluminum as the material of choice for vehicle bodies. Conferences such as EuroCarBody create an excellent environment for education and collaboration, which are key to achieving our mission," said Thomas Rudlaff, Managing Director, Alumobility.
