 For lightweighting, materials developments for transportation must meet performance and cost requirements. But step change can be achieved via co-optimization of design, material, manufacturing.

 Driven by the evolution of regulation towards reducing CO2 emissions of cars, and by the competition with other materials in aerostructures, Aluminium has a fantastic but challenging growth opportunity.

 CONSTELLIUM has defined automotive and aerospace as one of his key strategic segments, and is actively addressing those challenges through strong R&D capabilities:  Developing an appropriate portfolio of alloys along key technical drivers and pursuing with more step-change concepts  Partnering with OEMs to develop affordable solutions  All this with in mind
