Aluminum is the fastest growing automotive material, offering the safest, most environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to boost fuel economy and cut total vehicle carbon emissions. Reducing vehicle weight—without reducing vehicle size—is essential as automakers develop next generation cars and trucks. Automotive is the single largest market for the U.S. aluminum industry today. 

The Aluminum Transportation Group (ATG) is a committee of aluminum-producing companies that promotes research and programs to highlight the benefits of aluminum’s use in the automotive sector. The committee’s primary work includes technical research, policy advocacy, regulatory engagement and market promotion. 

Current membership includes: Commonwealth Rolled Products, Constellium, Hydro, Kaiser Aluminum, Lincoln Electric, Novelis, Real Alloy and Rio Tinto. 

Thanks to its durability, beauty, high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance and desirable thermal properties, aluminum has been used for building and construction since the 1920s. Today, aluminum is recognized as one of the most energy efficient and green construction materials – making buildings sustainable without sacrificing style or design.   

The Building & Construction committee works to maintain and expand aluminum’s reputation as the sustainable material of choice for building applications. The committee’s primary work includes technical and sustainability research, stakeholder engagement and market promotion.

Current membership includes: Hydro, Jupiter Aluminum, JW Aluminum, Novelis and Rio Tinto.
