GM signs 10-year pact to buy aluminum from Alcan

Article Abstract:

Alcan Aluminium Ltd. and General Motors have come to an agreement over a 10-year deal that will allow GM to buy aluminum at a more stable price even when market prices fluctuate. The pact is to make it possible to use more aluminum in car building to improve emissions. Currently GM uses about 210 pounds of aluminum per vehicle. The jury is still out on what more aluminum will do for safety.
