ALUMINIUM CAR

Some of the early designs used completely aluminium structure was built by a Norway company called BJERRING. They only manufactured 4 prototypes until the Lord  Raufoss take the control of the company and tried to transfer the advances developed in the space technology of aluminium frame design in cars and buses.

This project could not be held due to lack of resources and technolcoche alogy ( we are talking of 1930s). The first car manufactured using abodywork and structure entirely of aluminium was the PANHARD DYNA, a prototype made in France in 1954. This vehicle was powered by a two stroke engine, weiged only 629 kgr. and could carry 6 people.
