📜 The European Commission recently published its proposal for revising the End-of-Life Vehicle Directive, transforming it into a "Regulation on circularity requirements for vehicle design and on management of end-of-life vehicles."

🤝 The co-legislators will engage in discussions over the next few months to reach a final agreement on the matter.

✅ Currently, the proposed text by the European Commission offers intriguing ideas and appears to be on the right track.

🤔 Did you know that...

🚗 European electric vehicles use on average 67,5% more #aluminium than combustion engines cars? (2022 figures)

And that's not all!

In fact, the average aluminium content in European electric vehicles is set to increase by almost 10% by 2026 📈 📈 📈

[EUROPEAN ALUMINIUM @EU_Aluminium]

📢 The findings of our study on #aluminium usage in #cars are out!

🔍 The study, commissioned by European Aluminium and conducted by @DuckerWorldwide, has found that the average amount of aluminium used in European cars has increased by 18% from 174 kg in 2019 to 205 kg in 2022.

📈 According to the study, the trend towards #electrification in the #automotive industry is driving a significant increase in aluminium content. The study predicts this trend is set to continue, with the average aluminium content projected to increase from 205 kg in 2022 to 237 kg by 2026 (+15.6%) and 256 kg per vehicle by 2030 (+24.9%).

With the average 🚗produced in Europe today containing 180 kg of #aluminium, it's important to optimise the recycling♻️ of End-of-Life Vehicles. Discover how the revised #ELVDirective can help in our latest blog post by @pragnarsson & Benedetta Nucci!

The @EUCouncil today the approved regulation on #CO2 standards for cars and vans. The law requires carmakers to reduce #emissions of new cars by 55% in 2030, and by 100% in 2035. This is a huge move towards fulfilling the climate neutrality goals for #transport in 2050. #Fitfor55

[EUROPEAN ALUMINIUM @EU_Aluminium]

Aluminium helps to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle, improving EV’s range and performance🚗.

The growing demand📈 for EVs by 2030 will lead to an additional #aluminium demand of approximately 1.4M tonnes per year. Find out more👉 https://t.co/dpIANIykEU.
#Alu4GreenFuture

[EUROPEAN ALUMINIUM @EU_Aluminium]

One thing is clear: without aluminium it would be impossible for Europe to achieve #netzero emissions🌿.

Europe’s 2030 energy transition will require 4 M tonnes of additional #aluminium per year. Let's make sure it's made in EU👉https://t.co/dpIANIykEU

[EUROPEAN ALUMINIUM @EU_Aluminium]

The @Europarl_EN adopted the law mandating carmakers to go emissions-free by 2035🚗 A giant leap towards a climate-neutral transport system by 2050. 🇪🇺 aluminium, with a carbon footprint almost three times lower than the world average, is key in enabling electromobility #Fitfor55

[EUROPEAN ALUMINIUM @EU_Aluminium]

The #GreenDealIndustrialPlan should follow the example set by the US #IRA and prioritise sustainable growth by providing concrete support🤝 to European industries in their decarbonisation efforts.

🎙️Hear from our expert @GC_Forgnone, what to expect from today's #EUCO (1/2).

[EUROPEAN ALUMINIUM @EU_Aluminium]

We're delighted to announce that we are a member of the #EUSolarPVAlliance.

Up to 10 additional Mt of aluminium is required to deliver the EU Solar Strategy☀️ objectives. Together, EU solar & #aluminium industries can enhance 🇪🇺 strategic resilience and green transition.

[Patrik Ragnarsson @pragnarsson]

Aluminium has a great role to play in the deployment of more solar power in Europe. With the right framework conditions in place we can make it happen with European produced PV panels and with European Aluminium. @EU_Aluminium #EUSolarAlliance
#GoodForEnvironment #GoodForEurope

[EUROPEAN ALUMINIUM @EU_Aluminium]

We agree with @ThierryBreton "Without solar PV industry, there's no #EUGreenDeal, and we need to make it here in #Europe."

#Aluminium & #solar are key partners when it comes to #RePowerEU and its delivery. This is why we're determined to join #EUSolarAlliance.

@EU_ESIA

[Patrik Ragnarsson @pragnarsson]

Big decision in Brussels today! Aluminium has an important role to play in this transition. Both to make cars lighter and and more energy efficient and as a necessary material for batteries and infrastructure. @EU_Aluminium #Lightmobility

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Today’s political agreement between @Europarl_EN and @EUCouncil on zero emission new car sales as of 2035 is a crucial milestone to reach our 2030 climate target.

It will boost innovation and our 🇪🇺 industrial & tech leadership.

I look forward to more #Fitfor55 agreements soon.
