New heavy-duty truck wheel by Alcoa

Issued at 2014-10-29



Alcoa said that it will roll out its lightest heavy-duty truck wheel in Europe to help fleets increase payload and fuel efficiency.

The company is now selecting fleet partners for the European launch of its lightest forged aluminum wheel ever, the Ultra ONE™.

The Ultra ONE Wheel is made with the strongest wheel alloy on the market, Alcoa's MagnaForce™ alloy. The alloy is on average 17 percent stronger than the industry standard, Alcoa's 6061 alloy, in similar applications.
The wheel will be available in Europe during the second half of 2015 and will be manufactured at an Alcoa facility in Europe.
