Hydro and Mercedes-Benz to scale low-carbon aluminium in Europe
Hydro and Mercedes-Benz are expanding their partnership to increase the use of recycled and low-carbon aluminium across Europe.

As a first step, Mercedes-Benz will become the first automotive company in Europe to integrate Hydro Circal into series production for the next generation of large electric vehicles.
