Nickel in Autos
Welcome to "Nickel in Autos" brought to you by the Nickel Institute.
The purpose of this site is to facilitate the exchange of information relevant to the continuing success of
nickel-containing products in meeting the needs of the worldwide automotive community. Use in automobiles,
trucks, buses and aftermarket accessories constitutes a major market for nickel.
Nickel containing products are critical to meeting requirements for
energy-efficient, low-emission, durable and attractive automobiles. They make an important contribution to sustainable transportation.
Whether in stainless steel exhaust components (allowing hotter running, more fuel efficient engines), nickel
metal hydride (NiMH) batteries powering the latest hybrid electric vehicles, or the countless other
automotive systems, nickel-containing products enhance automotive performance and minimize adverse
environmental impacts.(More about how nickel is used in the automotive

At the end of the useful life of an automobile, nickel-containing parts are fully recyclable into new
stainless steel, nickel alloys and other starting materials. To learn more about this check out Recycling Nickel in Autos. To find automotive news,
