Constellium supplies high-strength aluminum structural parts for new Ford F-150 pickup truck

Constellium N.V., based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, has announced that it is providing Ford Motor Co. with aluminum structural parts for the 2015 Ford® F-150 pickup truck that extensively uses high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy as a build material. Constellium is one of Ford’s largest suppliers of these components for the truck.

To keep pace with increased demand, Constellium has doubled manufacturing capacity at its facility in Van Buren, Mich., and enhanced advanced prototyping and development capabilities.

The use of high-strength steel in the truck frame and aluminum alloy in the truck body has reduced the vehicle’s weight by up to 700 lbs.
