The International Aluminium Institute (IAI) chairman Svein Richard Brandtzfg, has welcomed the launch of the latest in the series of IAI product-related sustainability websites highlighting the advantages of the use of aluminium in transport. Recognising the demand from car manufacturers (OEMs) and consumers around the world for up-to-date and easy to access information, IAI has developed an online resource on the unique properties of aluminium transport applications, as well as their fuel efficiency and emissions reduction benefits.
Launched at the China Aluminum Fabrication Forum, the website features some of the world's leading OEMs and their innovative use of aluminium components in the design of safe, lightweight, fuel efficient and cost effective vehicles. It also provides credible and accurate life cycle data, which underpin and support the aluminium industry's sustainability and the sustainability of its products. The transport website follows on from the success of the IAI's Green Building Website (http://greenbuilding.world-aluminium.org) in 2009, which has proved popular with architects and other building professionals, looking for sustainability data and real life examples of aluminium applications in green buildings.
