> new energy vehicles are getting heavier, which is no longer just a feeling, but a fact supported by data. From january to april 2026, the average total mass of new domestic energy vehicles was ** 1939. 3 kg, an increase of ** 27. 5 per cent** compared to 2020. The immediate consequences of the increase in vehicle weights were a sharp rise in electricity consumption, a continued shrinking of water, and a change in manipulation. More crucially, **1 january 2026,** the official implementation of part 1 of the energy consumption limit for electric cars: cars, has put in place a strict electrical access threshold for overweight vehicles over **2710 kg.** the policy-end push-back drive must put “reduce” on the agenda. A map of the cross-border supply chain around “light quantification” was being developed at the recently concluded fourth chain fair. ♪ cross the chain, a car director's "weight off" book in this round of light quantification, a key figure ♪ *senior director general of car development ** **, with clear objectives, appeared at the chain fair. His company also faced the problem of overweight vehicles, and his response was to go out of the car ring and go to another exhibition area to find treasure. (blockview://markdown-image-tos-cn-i-t/10f0a7c2773e48bbb913c6a3be7fd83d) in the digital technology chain exhibition area, an exhibition of “aluminium alloy racks” by smart short transport company ** inc. This material is of high intensity and directly lower than the weight of the same traditional material ** 20%**. On-site accounting: if the material is applied to 4 car wheels, total weight reduction ** 14 kg** (blockview://markdown-image-tos-cn-i-tt/d2ab70bf40194dca9775b2cf89913e68) in the aerial industry area,** a new aluminum seat skeleton technology introduced by zhejiang china aluminium technology co. Ltd.** can achieve **two-thirds ** and safety levels of steel by optimizing the presentation of “c919-same” materials. It is calculated again that if used in three rows of car seats, the weight can be reduced ** 15. 5 kg**. The parties exchanged contact details on the spot and agreed to negotiate specific cooperation after the fair. # the players on the track, not only the scooter and the big plane, are searching for the path, just as the whole of the light-quantified track. In addition to company no. 9 and aluminium zhejiang, a large number of companies presented their own “weight reduction” aces, constituting a multi-supply system. ** cross-border players bring a “fall-down”**-** company ix**: its core leverage is to push the crafted aluminium alloy frame derived from** the dakar competition** to a car wheeling application with high intensity and shock resistance. - ** aluminium technology in zhejiang**: the core capability is to optimize the cost control and performance of **air-grade aluminium ** to fit car seat skeletons and provide a cost-effective weight reduction programme. **the traditional houthis imposed light quantification**-** the chinese credit card**: as the world's largest supplier of aluminium wheels, the light integrated joints module was exhibited with a lighter quantification compared to the same advanced product ** 5 per cent**, energy saving ** 6 per cent**. (blockview://markdown-image-tos-cn-i-tt/228cc2334345453b35d35c34edc91ac6) - ** sumitomo electricist group**: products such as high-pressure aluminium beams that have been exhibited to reduce the weight of components with guaranteed performance by means of material system innovation and to assist in light quantification of the whole vehicle. # weight reduction, why is it a necessity? The players on the track are running ahead, and behind them are the common anxiety of the industry. There was a general consensus in the industry at the current chain fair that, with safety guarantees, ** vehicles could be reduced by 1 kg in exchange for a real lift ** and that it would reduce brake distance and optimize vehicle control stability. More importantly, light quantification has become more than a technical issue, and more closely tied to low-carbon transformation depths throughout the life cycle. According to a report issued jointly by ** volvo,** during the expo,** of about **10 tons of co2 abatement space,** 80 per cent** is concentrated at the upstream end of material production and processing. This means that light quantification and green low carbon are becoming “one-sided”. Those who are able to take the lead in applying light quantitative material with high value for money and low carbon emissions will be able to take the technological and environmentally friendly highs in the next round of competition. The technology of the different tracks and the light-heavy need for cars have been able to move in both directions, from skateboards to air seats, from aluminium to engineering plastics. (blockview://markdown-image-tos-cn-i-tt/7b71b960043f5420da67f8d25df00f02f) for zao and his colleagues, “weight reduction” is not a single-sector technical issue, but rather a concerted battle requiring a combination of materials, manufacture, design and supply chain. This “bridge” of cross-chain integration is creating more possibilities for industrial upgrading。
