Constellium SE made published today that it delivers Auto Body Sheet for the new Toyota Corolla produced at Toyota’s European manufacturing plants.

Constellium was recommended as the solitary supplier of Auto Body Sheet for the hood of the new Corolla, produced at the automaker’s facilities in Burnaston, UK, and Arifiye, Turkey. This is for the first time Toyota is using aluminium for this series on its European production lines.
