Our Lightweight Solutions
In the development and series production of castings, GF Casting Solutions places a clear focus on bionic design and lightweight construction in order to significantly reduce the weight of the casting solutions. In vehicles, weight reduction not only means a reduction in fuel consumption and the associated reduction in emissions, but also has a positive impact on driving behavior.
Lightweighting for alternative drives
Lightweight construction is particularly important if you want to help shape the future of electrically powered vehicles. Due to the high weight of the battery, lightweight construction in the vehicle is a must - especially for hybrid vehicles in which two drive concepts are integrated in the vehicle.
Sustainable future
Furthermore, working with cast materials enables us to produce sustainably due to the reusability of raw materials such as secondary aluminum and iron scrap, as well as the high degree of freedom in component geometry.
In a nutshell: cast iron combines significant weight reduction and the sustainable use of valuable resources. This is possible because we have been intensively involved with component requirements, materials and the possibilities and limits of our casting processes and act sustainably.
