Abstract:

A true low carbon vehicle must have minimal carbon inputs to the environment at all stages of its life. This requirement applies throughout its life: from the extraction and refining of its materials of construction, its manufacture and assembly, its use and finally end of life, when it is recycled and, where possible, parts are reused. This article summarises the views of the Light Metals Board of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, expressed in a recent survey on the potential of light metals in future light weight vehicles.
