3D car animation Click here to launch a 3D application of a generic car showing examples of components that can be achieved with aluminium extrusions. All parts showed are or have been produced by Sapa.

2D interactive pictures If you cannot open the 3D animation, our product examples are also available by clicking on the car and truck pictures below. All parts showed are or have been produced by Sapa

Bright future for aluminium extrusions
The full potential of extruded aluminium in cars and trucks is far from realised. Aluminium is often seen only as an alternative material. But aluminium is not lightweight steel. You can design components that simply cannot be manufactured in steel with different properties and added functionality.
Click on the car or the truck beside to see many examples of aluminium extrusion innovativeness.
