Constellium (CSTM) said Monday it joined Project M-LightEn, an initiative to create ultra-lightweight, sustainable vehicle chassis.

As part of the project, Constellium said it will supply ultra-high strength aluminum made with 80% recycled UK consumer scrap to improve structural integrity while lowering weight and carbon emissions.

Brunel University will assist in advanced material research and testing to ensure high performance and sustainability, Constellium said.

The company said the first phase focuses on new materials and joining techniques, with commercial applications expected by late 2027.

Led by the Gordon Murray Group and supported by Innovate UK and the Advanced Propulsion Centre, the project plans to reduce carbon intensity by 50% and cut weight by 25% in unibody vehicle architecture, the company said.
