A thought leadership piece by Daniel Kern, Vice President, Global Automotive Development, Novelis Traditionally, aluminum was reserved for luxury and high-performance vehicles. However, advancements in material science, recycling capabilities, and design innovation have transformed aluminum into a cost-effective and sustainable choice for all vehicle categories—from compact cars to SUVs and trucks.
Novelis is proud to be featured in a recent World Economic Forum article highlighting the impact of the First Movers Coalition (FMC), which has mobilized over $16 billion to accelerate the adoption of emerging decarbonization technologies in hard-to-abate industries. The FMC aims to drive demand for low-carbon solutions in sectors such as aluminum, aviation, and shipping—sectors that are critical to achieving a net-zero future but face significant technological and economic challenges.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are transforming the automotive industry, but their significantly heavier weight—up to 500kg more than comparable internal combustion engine (ICE) models—poses unique challenges. Reducing weight is critical for improving performance, safety, and sustainability while meeting the evolving demands of consumers and regulators.
thyssenkrupp Aerospace and Novelis have renewed their strategic partnership through a multi-year agreement.
This year marks a remarkable milestone for Novelis: 20 years of innovation, sustainability, and leadership. Since we began in January 2005, we have transformed the aluminum industry through groundbreaking achievements and a steadfast commitment to our company’s Purpose of Shaping a Sustainable World Together.
Join us for an engaging 60-minute webinar featuring leading experts in EV lightweighting as they explore innovative strategies to reduce vehicle weight and drive the development of more efficient and sustainable EVs.
As the automotive industry navigates the crossroads of electrification, sustainability, and consumer preferences for vehicles that are more efficient, safer, and environmentally friendly, one thing is clear: the future of mobility requires a new approach to vehicle design. At Novelis, we believe that aluminum is the key to unlocking a lighter, greener, simpler, and safer future for automakers and their customers.
Aluminum recycling is more than a sustainable practice—it’s a powerful driver of economic growth, supply chain resiliency, and environmental stewardship.
