A Clear Path Toward Carbon-Neutral Mobility

Phasing out affordable but high-emission materials is a major challenge for the automotive industry. Maxion Wheels supports vehicle manufacturers that are taking the first steps toward lower-carbon alternatives.

Until now, the focus has largely been on new premium electric vehicle models and platforms. However, not all fleets can become fully electric, so many organizations are seeking more accessible ways to reduce their CO₂ footprint and demonstrate climate commitments through concrete action.

For brands pursuing these commitments, partnering with suppliers that can provide green steel grades suitable for wheel production is a strategic advantage.

Material Selection Is Critical
for Carbon-Neutral Wheels

Renewable energy can reduce a wheel’s CO₂ footprint, but the greatest opportunity lies in emission-intensive raw materials, which account for approximately 75–85% of a wheel’s total CO₂ footprint.

Primary aluminum has the highest CO₂-equivalent emissions, ranging from 3.5 to 25 kg CO₂ per kilogram depending on the energy source.
By comparison, primary steel production emits approximately 2 to 2.5 kg CO₂ per kilogram.
