A new study reveals that seven in 10 pickups will have an aluminum body by 2025, reports The Detroit News.
The research by Ducker Worldwide projects that every leading automaker will have an aluminum body program in place — and Ford Motor, General Motors and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV will be the biggest users of aluminum.
Ford later this year will bring to market the first aluminum-bodied mass-market vehicle when it introduces its 2015 F-150.
The study was commissioned by the Aluminum Transportation Group, a promoter for the research and use of aluminum. It looked at trends in aluminum usage for the North American vehicle market.
