Lighter Weight, Higher Efficiency

The weight of your car is a significant factor in determining its efficiency, and this largely depends on the materials used. Therefore, the easiest way to enhance a car's speed and efficiency is by reducing its weight, which is why many automakers are opting to utilize forged aluminum instead of steel.

Forged aluminum is equally strong but significantly lighter, resulting in improved control and fuel efficiency. A prime example of this is Ford's 2015 lineup of pickup trucks - they are 700 pounds lighter than the previous generation, and according to Ford, they achieved approximately a 29% increase in fuel efficiency, depending on the engine.
