Constellium SE, a global leader in aluminum product development, saw its stock surge 5.08% in Monday's pre-market trading session. This significant increase can be attributed to the company's recent announcement of its participation in 'Project M-LightEn,' an ambitious initiative aimed at developing ultra-lightweight and sustainable vehicle chassis structures.

As part of this project, Constellium will supply ultra-high-strength aluminum solutions made with 80% recycled UK consumer scrap. These advanced materials will form the foundation of the unibody structure, enhancing structural integrity while reducing weight and carbon emissions. Constellium will collaborate with Brunel University London to ensure that every component meets the highest standards for performance and sustainability.

The Project M-LightEn consortium, led by Gordon Murray Group and supported by Innovate UK and the Advanced Propulsion Centre, aims to achieve breakthrough innovations in unibody vehicle architecture that reduce carbon intensity by 50% while being 25% lighter. This aligns with Constellium's commitment to pushing the boundaries of lightweighting technologies and combining innovation with sustainability and circularity.
