CEI Appraisers Learn Repair Techniques on New All-Aluminum Ford F-150

Fifteen members of the in-house Quality Control team from the CEI Group, Inc. (CEI) have completed I-CARs course in collision repairs on the new 2015 Ford F-150 pickup truck, which makes the most extensive use of aluminum of any light-duty vehicle on the road, CEI announced today. Auto manufacturers are starting to use more aluminum because of its strength, lighter weight and greater corrosion resistance, but it requires a range of completely different repair techniques than steel, said Greg Neuman, CEIs senior manager of quality control. For example, he said, different welding tools and procedures are required, and repairs must be made in a totally separate and contained area of a repair shop to keep the metal free from any contact with steel, which causes aluminum to corrode.

Fords New F-150 Pickup Drops Weight But Raises Price
2014-07-31 18:33:13| AutomotiveDigest.com - Automotive Industry News
Ford has more than enough riding on the new F-150 to test its payload capacity. The truck has spent three decades at the top of the automotive sales charts, leading as both the top truck and the best-selling passenger vehicle overall. By migrating from a traditional steel body to one made almost entirely of lightweight aluminum, the 2015 Ford F-150 can be seen as a bargain because of the anticipated fuel savings that will come with shaving as much as 732 pounds off the big trucks mass. The new trucks sticker price jumps by as much as $3,615, depending on the specific model. Ford defends the increase by noting it is adding significantly more content to the 2015 remake of Americas best-selling vehicle.
