The world's top 500 companies Alcoa China has more than 120 years of history and rich experience in the aluminum manufacturing industry. Its aluminum products have entered almost all industries, including pharmaceutical aluminum foil, automotive extrusions, automotive panels and wheel products. This time, Alcoa China brought the world's first brand of high-quality aluminum products to Jinan, China, and made a high profile appearance at the 2010 China (Jinan) International Truck & Parts Exhibition. In recent years, lightweighting has always been a hot spot in the truck industry. Truck companies are seeking trucks for lighter weight, and companies are constantly launching new products with light weight as their selling point. Aluminum as a lightweight material has good toughness and ductility, and is known for its good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation. People naturally think of aluminum first on the road to lightweight vehicles. It is understood that Alcoa China has always been committed to the development of new products over the years. Its wheels can each achieve a weight reduction of up to 57%, and each trailer can reduce weight by up to 300kg, which can effectively increase the load and improve driving comfort. In addition, its products have passed the most stringent strength and impact tests of all major testing organizations. Tests show that Alcoa forged aluminum wheels have higher strength than steel wheels and cast aluminum wheels. Forged Alcoa wheels under the pressure of 71200 kg weight, deformation of only 5 cm. In an interview with a China Truck Network reporter, Alcoa China CEO Rose Simon mentioned that in China, the overloading of trucks is serious and once the vehicles are overweight, they will cause great damage to the vehicles themselves. Therefore, in order to load more cargo, the rim quality of trucks must be reduced. Alcoa China has made major breakthroughs in manufacturing lightweight rims. In addition to its efforts to develop new products, Alcoa China also attaches great importance to low-carbon and environmental protection. Alcoa China takes full advantage of aluminum and has always been a leader in reducing fuel emissions. Alcoa promises its customers that it can reduce fuel consumption by 3%. In fact, Alcoa can reduce fuel consumption by up to 5%. Alcoa has a rigorous testing system for fuel consumption. Customers can also use this test system to personally determine how much reduced fuel consumption is in the end. It is understood that Alcoa has sales companies in China and its final assembly bases are in the United States, Hungary, Japan, and Mexico. Ross Simon said at the exhibition site that Alcoa has not yet set up a production line in China. China is only responsible for the sales of Alcoa, not technology development and production. However, Rose Simon stated that Alcoa will set up a production line in China in the next few years to meet the demanding Chinese market.
