Car makers consume large amounts of raw materials, and a conscientious planning of the manufacturing process is essential to the careful management of these resources. Among the most used materials in cars are lightweight elements such as aluminum, polymers, and to a lesser extent other metals (copper, titanium, platinum group, silicon, zinc, magnesium) elastomers, fluids, lithium, light rare earth elements.

The total resource inflows for 2024 include an overall total weight of products and technical and biological materials used (Kg) of 34,199, with a percentage of secondary reused or recycled components, secondary intermediary products, and secondary materials used to manufacture the undertaking’s products and services (including packaging) at 4.6%.
