Alcoa has the best practices, technologies and automotive products to help our customers build a bridge to the next frontier—sustainable transportation for the world’s citizens.

We have been working to make aluminum “part of the solution” for a sustainable future for 118 years. For example, since 1990 we have reduced the CO2 emissions per ton of aluminum produced by 73 percent. During the same timeframe, increased use of aluminum in the world’s vehicle fleet has avoided putting one billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere and saved more than 84 billion liters of gasoline.

Alcoa is dedicated to working with our customers to create optimized solutions that will help them develop not only successful, but sustainable vehicles for future generations.
