Novelis taps into e-vehicle potential

As China clamps down on pollution, companies such as aluminum producer Novelis Inc see a business opportunity.

"The driving force behind our strategy in China is the nation's increasingly strict policy against pollution," said Pierre Labat, vice-president of global automotive at the Atlanta, Georgia-based company in the United States.

Novelis is expanding its investment in the world's second biggest economy, particularly in the electric vehicle sector.
