Expertise drawn from across NRC
The National Research Council (NRC) has launched an aluminium R&D program aimed at reducing the weight of materials used to build ground transportation vehicles. The $45-million, eight-year program is the first to emerge from a new NRC-led consortium for aluminium R&D and is part of the agency's automotive and surface transportation (AST) portfolio — one of 12 created to replace the former NRC institute structure.
