Alcoa and Becema, a leading Russian producer of tanks and semi-trailers, have launched a new lightweight aluminum cement hauler for the Russian market using Alcoa's new advanced aluminum sheet alloy 1565M. The eco-friendly aluminum trailers were launched during a customer event at Becema's Krasnogorsk, Russia, plant this week.
"By using Alcoa's new advanced sheet alloy, the weight of the tank body has been reduced by 25-30 percent over base aluminum alloys. The weight has been reduced 300 percent versus a steel tank, saving approximately 2600 kilograms or more than 2 tons per tank," said Ilya Vishnevskiy, Acting Commercial Director Alcoa Russia. "Lower weight and high strength from aluminum equals cost savings in transport costs and fuel savings."
Aluminum's other advantages include improved corrosion resistance and durability, which results in fewer repairs and longer life of the vehicle, and recyclability.
"The aluminum trailers are reliable, safe, and provide greater payload, enabling us to meet government weight requirements," said Sergey Trifonov, General Director Becema. "These improvements plus aluminum's environmental benefits will help to make the new cement hauler a winner in the Russian transportation market."
