Novelis aluminum lightens 2018 Jeep Wrangler

Novelis, a leader in aluminum rolling and recycling, announced supply of its aluminum in the new 2018 Jeep® Wrangler.


The use of lightweight, high-strength aluminum for closures, which includes parts of the doors, fenders, swing gate, and windshield surround, reduces weight and boosts fuel economy, helping make it the most capable and fuel efficient Wrangler ever produced by FCA US LLC.

The all-new Wrangler is 200 pounds lighter than the previous steel version and gas mileage is expected to rise by three miles per gallon, according to the automaker.

By incorporating aluminum into this design, FCA US joins a number of automakers that are turning to aluminum for the benefits they see in vehicle performance, agility and safety. Thanks in part to lightweight aluminum from Novelis, Jeep enthusiasts will also find it easier to remove the doors, which will be 14 pounds lighter compared to previous models.

Aluminum supply for the all-new, Wrangler will be sourced from Novelis’ facilities in Oswego, New York and Kingston, Ontario.
