“Cromodora Wheels is one of the most sought-after wheel producers in Europe, with a clear sustainability agenda. We are pleased to offer climate-conscious customers, such as Cromodora Wheels, a low-carbon option while increasing our foothold in the car manufacturing industry. This is a true testament to Hydro REDUXA low-carbon aluminium,” said Francine Martin, Sales Director in Hydro.
Hydro produced Hydro REDUXA at its Norwegian primary aluminium production sites in Sunndal and Årdal, where production is based entirely on renewable hydropower.
Hydro REDUXA has a certified maximum carbon footprint of 4.0 kg CO2e/kg aluminium. This is less than a quarter of the global average and includes the entire value chain of aluminium from raw material to finished product including transport (smelter scope 1,2,3).
“European car makers are continuously working to lower emissions, and we must do our part to help them achieve their ambitions. Aluminium wheels make cars lighter, which in return lowers fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. If the wheels are produced with low-carbon aluminium, that makes a good footprint even better – and why we chose Hydro REDUXA,” said Marco Dallera, Sales Director in Cromodora Wheels.
