For a long time, China was regarded as the savior of the automobile industry. However, the upward trend has slowed down and traditional manufacturers are facing new challenges.

Structural die casting components are increasingly popular for the automotive industry. Currently, they are proving their strengths above all with upper class cars such as the new Jaguar I-Pace, the BMW series 8 Coupé or the Mercedes-Benz C class. Foundries that want to take advantage of this development must have the proper know-how and suitable facilities.

With the launch of the I-Pace, Jaguar tries to take the lead in the E-Mobility revolution. Thus, it tries to keep up with the industry’s leader Tesla. Lightweight construction plays a major role in the manufacturer’s new SUV.
