Automotive Industry Metals: From Chassis to Battery
Moroccan raw materials shaping the modern automotive industry. Iron ore for high-strength steel chassis, lead for SLI batteries, and zinc for corrosion protection.
Minerals Driving the Automotive Sector
The automotive industry relies on a diverse supply of metals to ensure vehicle safety, performance, and longevity. Morocco's mineral exports play a vital role in global automotive supply chains.
Essential Automotive Materials
Iron Ore & Steel
- Chassis & Frame: High-strength steel from Moroccan iron ore ensures passenger safety.
- Engine Components: Cast iron blocks for durability.
Zinc: The Guardian Against Rust
- Galvanization: Zinc coatings protect steel car bodies from corrosion, extending vehicle life.
- Die-Casting: Precision parts for door handles, locks, and safety belt mechanisms.
Lead: The Power to Start
- SLI Batteries: Starting, Lighting, and Ignition batteries remain standard in nearly all vehicles, including EVs (for auxiliary systems).
- Recycling: Lead-acid batteries have a 99% recycling rate, making them a circular economy model.
