ALUMINIUM CHINA 2019, held on 10-12 July 2019 in SNIEC together with Lightweight Asia 2019, ended successfully attracting 25,285 professional industry visitors and buyers from across 87 countries.

The event showcased leading auto-aluminium brands committed to reducing the weight of next-generation Electrical Vehicles (EVs).

As ‘mileage concern’ still puts off many potential consumers, reducing the weight of EVs is the best way to break the mileage barrier and motivate consumers to adopt them in greater numbers. It is estimated that for every 100kg saved, an EV can increase its mileage by 10-11%, reduce its battery cost by 20% and save 20% on daily worn-out costs. And the most important factor to achieve so-called ‘light-weighting’ is through developing light materials.

Companies participating included Constellium, Novelis and Nikkeikin. Constellium providing world-leading aluminium sheets, alloy materials and processing technologies for key auto parts, specializing in inner and outer alloys, anti-crash alloys, auto structure and high-strength impact absorption materials.

The event organiser Reed Exhibitions Greater China, thanked the participants of ALUMINIUM CHINA 2019 for their efforts to make this year’s show such a great success.

ALUMINIUM CHINA 2020 will be held next year from 8-10 July 2020 at the Shanghai New International Exhibition Centre (SNIEC).

Meanwhile, Asia’s only Lightweight Automotive Trade Fair – Lightweight Asia 2020 will take place at the same time and venue with ALUMINIUM CHINA 2020.
