    A Tesla Roadster outside the Tesla Motors showroom in the trendy gallery district of West Chelsea in New York is seen on Saturday, November 12, 2011. The Roadster sports car sells for $109,000 a piece but a mass market Model S has been announced and it will sell for around $49,900 after a $7500 federal tax credit when released in mid-2012.

  • Carmaking recast: West Midlands finds new role in electric vehicle industry
Some firms reinvent themselves in the battery era, but others struggle as work moves abroad

    Carmaking recast: West Midlands finds new role in electric vehicle industry
    Some firms reinvent themselves in the battery era, but others struggle as work moves abroad. Corners of the Alucast factory in the Black Country would be familiar to metalworkers several centuries ago. Workers pour molten aluminium at 720C into steel moulds. The cooling metal is then quickly pressed into shape before being sanded down into parts for gas-guzzling British sports cars. Yet for all its traditional West Midlands manufacturing roots, Alucast is finding a role for itself in a fast-growing new industry: electric cars.

    Pictured is the site and staff of Alucast based in Wednesbury, who make aluminium castings for major car makers.

    Carmaking recast: West Midlands finds new role in electric vehicle industry
    Some firms reinvent themselves in the battery era, but others struggle as work moves abroad. Corners of the Alucast factory in the Black Country would be familiar to metalworkers several centuries ago. Workers pour molten aluminium at 720C into steel moulds. The cooling metal is then quickly pressed into shape before being sanded down into parts for gas-guzzling British sports cars. Yet for all its traditional West Midlands manufacturing roots, Alucast is finding a role for itself in a fast-growing new industry: electric cars.

    Pictured is the Chairman of Alucast Tony Sartorius, who make aluminium castings for major car makers standing by a High Pressure Die Casting machine to make parts for Aston Martin.

    Some firms reinvent themselves in the battery era, but others struggle as work moves abroad. Brandauer, based in Birmingham’s Newtown, is closing in on its 160th birthday. Yet bosses at the precision metal stamping company, which employs 60 people, realised about five years ago that they needed to start targeting the next generation of cars, or faced losing a large chunk of their business. It has now branched out into metal lamination, producing plates that are being used in hydrogen fuel cells, a technology that could fuel zero-emission lorries. The new customers have helped it to its best year of new business on record.
