Xiaomi has introduced what it describes as China’s first mass-produced structural aluminium alloy made entirely from recycled aluminium for electric vehicles (EVs), marking another step towards lower-carbon manufacturing. The new material, called Titan Alloy 2.0, has entered series production and is being used in the integrated die-cast rear floor assemblies of the company’s SU7 and YU7 models.
According to Xiaomi, the alloy is manufactured entirely from recycled aluminium while meeting the strength requirements for critical vehicle safety structures. Independent verification by Sweden’s IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute has certified the material with a carbon footprint of 1.1 kg CO₂e per kilogramme.
This indicates a 93 per cent reduction compared with conventionally produced primary aluminium. The figures have also been registered under the international Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) system.
