The end-use aluminium industry, particularly the transportation sector, has made the beginning of 2024 special with new product launches or announcements of new products. On the very first day of the year, Egoras Technology, a firm specialising in sustainable transportation solutions, introduced its range of customers to the Egoras Dual-Fuel Tricycle, a gas-powered vehicle. This marks an innovative start to the New Year.
The tricycle is made of high-quality components such as aluminium, steel, and carbon fibre, ensuring endurance and dependability in various terrains. The Chief Executive Officer, Ugoji Harry, emphasised that this innovative tricycle was explicitly crafted to address the challenges arising from the recent removal of fuel subsidies. Highlighting its versatility, Ugoji mentioned that the tricycle provides a cost-effective transportation solution suitable for both urban and rural areas, contributing to a more environmentally friendly mode of commuting.
Lamborghini is about to introduce a successor to its flagship car Huracan, signalling a pivotal departure from conventional naturally aspirated engines in favour of a more environmentally conscious, electrified approach. The upcoming model, yet to be christened, will bid farewell to the traditional V10 engine, making room for a plug-in hybrid system featuring an innovative V8 power unit—a testament to Lamborghini's engineering prowess. The structure of the vehicle made of aluminium s poised to not only enhance lightweight properties but also maintain a competitive entry-level price range.
The incorporation of aluminium tape as a peculiar upgrade in the 2024 model year Toyota GR Corolla has raised eyebrows among automotive enthusiasts. This seemingly unconventional addition, part of the 2024 upgrade kit, includes not only the expected structural bolts and air ducts but also four strips of specially designed aluminium tape. The aluminium tape rectifies the electrostatic discharge issue, which was initially noticed during the development, but also contributes to an enhancement in aerodynamics.
On January 1, SolarDuck announced the successful acquisition of additional funding dedicated to advancing offshore floating solar power technology development and implementation.

In the recent aviation incident at Tokyo's Haneda airport involving the Japan Airlines Airbus A350, the resilience of the aircraft's composite structure, comprising 53% composite materials, has come into sharp focus. The Airbus A350 incident involved a model made largely from carbon fibre, which, unlike traditional aluminium, has a lower melting point. Aluminium with its higher melting point of about 600 degrees Celsius, offers a natural advantage in terms of fire resistance. The significance of aluminium in mitigating risks associated with high-temperature scenarios is underscored by this incident.
