The advantages of aluminium components for vehicles are shown. The examples are aluminium air receivers and aluminium fuel tanks for vehicles. The listing includes comparisons concerning materials, weight and other points like manufacturing processes. Furthermore, a cost comparison is shown and the amortization of the aluminium component is calculated. This is followed by a brief survey of the processing and the manufacturing methods. An overview of the tendencies of the markets and the future development is given. The advantages of the various products are described and the market shares of the different products depending on the material are listed. To implement the material aluminium in this product range in passenger cars, new methods of processing were established to compete with traditional processing routes.
