 Ford Motor Co. isn’t planning to use much aluminum beyond trucks because the benefits for other vehicles aren’t as compelling, a top executive said today.

Joe Hinrichs, Ford’s president of the Americas, said the company sees better, more cost-effective ways to improve the fuel economy of its cars.

Aluminum “has a place but not the same kind of place” in cars as on the newly introduced F-150, Hinrichs said at the 2015 Automotive News World Congress.
