Greener roads ahead with our next-gen personal mobility solutions

With the increasing emphasis on minimising environmental impact and improving the quality of life, personal mobility solutions are paving the way for smarter, greener and more connected urban spaces. Aluminium has become a key material in the development of personal mobility solutions, thanks to its unique combination of strength, lightness and corrosion resistance.

With the growing demand for more efficient, sustainable and innovative modes of transportation, aluminium plays a pivotal role in enhancing the performance and durability of personal mobility devices. From electric scooters and bicycles to e-mobility vehicles, aluminium components help reduce weight, improve energy efficiency, and extend lifespans of devices. Its recyclability also aligns well with the increasing emphasis on eco-friendly transportation solutions.

Aluminium is significantly lighter than many other metals, which helps reduce the overall weight of personal mobility devices. By reducing the weight of personal mobility devices, less energy is needed to propel the vehicle, which can lead to longer battery life and greater distance on a single charge. Despite being lightweight, aluminium is also strong and durable. It can withstand everyday wear and tear, including impacts, vibrations and outdoor elements.

Aluminium can be recycled indefinitely without losing its properties, making it a more sustainable option compared to materials that degrade during recycling. It can be easily moulded into different shapes and sizes, which enables manufacturers to create more aerodynamic, efficient and aesthetically pleasing personal mobility products.
