The Aluminum Association

The Aluminum Association has been a sponsor of the U.S. Department of Energy’s advanced vehicle technology competitions for more than five years, encouraging teams to explore aluminum to help boost environmental, safety, and handling performance, and for special emphasis on weight reduction for increased fuel efficiency.

One of the original FutureTruck partners, the Aluminum Association, based in Washington D.C., with offices in Detroit, Michigan, is the trade association for U.S. primary aluminum producers, recyclers, and manufacturers of semifabricated aluminum products. Member companies operate nearly 200 plants in 37 states. The Association’s Automotive and Light Truck group promote the use of aluminum in automotive structures and components by demonstrating the reasons it is the material of choice for high-value, safe, environmentally friendly, and superior-performing vehicles. The FutureTruck competitions help teach students how to use aluminum, which had doubled in use in cars and light trucks during the last 10 years.
