Xinhua spotlights magnesium alloy as next-gen lightweight material for new energy vehicles

A Xinhua video report from the 'Vibrant China Research Tour' series highlights the growing use of magnesium alloy in new energy vehicles. The material is one-third lighter than aluminum, helping to reduce vehicle weight and extend driving range. It also provides vibration damping and electromagnetic shielding. The report features a visit to Anhui Baomei, a producer of the alloy, and notes the material is already used in applications such as shopping mall cleaning robots.
