REDUCING THE WEIGHT OF VEHICLES IS ONE OF THE MAIN SOLUTIONS FOR REDUCING EMISSIONS.

ETEM factory in Sofia produces aluminum profiles for many models of BMW, Audi and Lamborghini. The plant provides aluminum for cars since 2011; it became clear during the International Automotive Conference in Sofia. “The main driving factor in the production of cars is no longer only luxury, but it is also care for the environment. One of the main methods of reducing CO2 emissions is to reduce the weight of vehicles and application of aluminum. For instance, in 1978 in each car average amount of aluminum used to be 32 kg, while in 2010 this is 160kg. All models that we supply with aluminum profiles are coming from our factory in Bulgaria. Not only for Lamborghini, but also for the Audi A8, TT, BMW 1 Series and 3 Series, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, Jaguar XJ and XF”, said Mr. Ralf Barten, Director of Sales at ETEM.
