From primary to secondary aluminium
Producing a brake caliper using
secondary aluminum to replace, in whole or partly, the primary one while ensuring
equal performance, quality and aesthetic criteria is one of key goals in the field of sustainability.
The development of the calipers of tomorrow, fully made of recycled aluminium, will allow to
reduce CO2e emissions by about 80% in the next decade compared to the current levels. The expected result will be achieve through a series of subsequent steps including:
• the gradual increase of aluminium produced with
renewable energy;
• purchase of
“hybrid” alloys made of a growing amount of renewable aluminium.
• the production of calipers made entirely from
recycled aluminum.
