One thing many car buffs may have overlooked when they checked out the new BMW 7 Series would be the actual material used in molding one of the best luxury cars in the market today. Have you ever wondered what made it so light and smooth to drive?
The new BMW 7 Series sedan, which made its debut in November 2008 with a host of “world firsts,” cruises out of showrooms with lightweight door components made from a unique aluminum product called Novelis Fusion(TM). This is the first automotive application of this innovative, multi-layered product, which Novelis has dubbed “The new aluminium(TM).”
BMW is the first automotive company to use Novelis Fusion in volume production. Several other automakers are testing the material or have already committed to its use.
There is significant potential for Novelis Fusion to help automotive manufacturers enhance their lightweight designs, be it in inner panels, outer panels, structural components or other parts. In the United States, Novelis Fusion has become a market leader for brazing sheet used in automotive radiators. The material is also generating great interest in a variety of other market applications.
