The outbreak of new energy cannot be separated from the support of aluminum, and sales of new energy vehicles have reached a new high this year! According to statistics, my country's new energy vehicle production and sales reached 2.566 million and 2.542 million respectively, a year-on-year increase of 1.8 times. By 2025, my country's new energy vehicles will account for 35% of total automobile sales, and the new energy vehicle processing industry will usher in a golden period of development.
What is the relationship between the development of the new energy automobile industry and the aluminum industry? First of all, we must understand that the wheels, engine parts, underframes, shock absorber brackets, and space frames in cars are all made of aluminum alloys, most of which are cast aluminum alloys. However, this alloy has a heavier weight and is for new energy vehicles. For example, the lighter the weight, the more favorable the cruising range. If a pure electric vehicle reduces the weight of the whole vehicle by 10kg, the cruising range can be increased by 2.5 kilometers. Therefore, some lightweight alloys are urgently needed. However, the production process of lightweight alloys is relatively complex. At present, in the domestic new energy vehicle industry, NIO, BYD, BAIC New Energy, etc. have all increased their lightweight layout, bringing huge opportunities to aluminum processing companies.
In the future, how much aluminum is expected to be used for vehicles? It is estimated that by 2025, the amount of aluminum used in domestic new energy vehicles will reach 1.76 million tons, and the amount of aluminum used in traditional vehicles will reach 4.46 million tons. Aluminum consumption for vehicles has broad prospects. With the development of industry and the application of global green energy, aluminum consumption will become a hot spot.
Hongtai Aluminum, in addition to producing aluminum for doors and windows, also focuses on the production of aluminum profiles for auto parts. It has close cooperation with listed companies. Traders are welcome to discuss cooperation.
