Share of body and closure part materials in N. America 2025

This statistic illustrates the share of materials for body and closures in light vehicles** in North America from 2012 to 2025, measured in pound. The average share of mild and high-strength low-alloy steel is declining towards 2025 while the share of aluminum sheet is increasing.

Supplementary notes

* Estimates.
** BY 2025 it is estimated by the source that the average weight for the average body with closures will be 888 pounds.
*** AHSS/UHSS refer to advanced high-strength steel and ultra high-strength steel. Steel with a ultimate tensile strength ratings of between 450 and 800 megaPascal are considered AHSS, and those with an ultimate tensile strength above 980 megaPascal are defined as UHSS.
**** HSLA refers to high-strength low-alloy steel, which is a type of steel that provides better mechanical properities or greater resistance to corrosion than carbon steel.
