GF secures major order for hybrid vehicle components
GF Automotive, a division of GF, has received an important order from a French car manufacturer for the battery housing of a new hybrid vehicle. The contract for this new customer amounts to EUR 77 million.
The battery housings made of aluminum with an integrated cooling system will be produced in Germany as of 2019. This recent major order underscores the development and manufacturing skills of GF Automotive in the growing market for E-mobility. With an eye to maximizing the vehicle’s range, the lightweight design is a particularly important factor.

Each year the division manufactures some 600 000 tons of iron, aluminum and magnesium at eleven production plants in Germany, Austria, China and the US.
