Howmet Wheel Systems, the leading manufacturer of aluminium truck wheels, has recently conducted a successful test to compare Aluminium vs. Steel Wheels.
The primary purpose was to measure the fuel-saving opportunities of its Ultra ONE® Alcoa® aluminium wheels.
The test was conducted against two models of steel wheels on a typical European heavy-duty semi-trailer combination.
In compliance with Annex VIII Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2400, and with the assistance of DEKRA. This renowned technical organization offers various testing and certification services.
Through this test, Howmet Wheel Systems confirmed a significant fuel savings of up to 1.29% with its Ultra ONE® Alcoa® aluminium wheels. This test reaffirms the company’s position as the industry’s lightest aluminium truck wheel manufacturer.
