Dear Reader, Welcome to the fourth edition of AluTransport, the commercial vehicles newsletter from the European Aluminium Association sponsored by Alcoa, Aleris, AMAG, Constellium, Hydro, Metra, Novelis and Sapa. For further information or comments: [email protected] or www.alutransport.eu |
 |
Aluminium for safer trucks A new study demonstrates that the incorporation of energy-absorbing Crash Management Systems in the front of heavy-duty vehicles has enormous potential to improve passive road safety. |
 |
French version of “Aluminium in Commercial Vehicles” manual now available At the end of 2009, the European Aluminium Association released the technical manual “Aluminium in Commercial Vehicles” to respond to the needs of design and process engineers. A French version is now available. |
 |
Aluminium wheels for MAN MAN introduces MAN TGX Efficient-Line which proves, thanks to efficiency-enhancing equipment including aluminium wheels, that today’s long-distance transport has the potential to save up to 3 litres of diesel per 100 kilometres. |
 |
Reinforced aluminium side boards for Onnicar tippers Onnicar has recently collaborated with Metra Spa in the development aluminium reinforced profiles for fixed platform and three-side tippers. Onnicar is also studying potential applications for aerospace aluminium alloys. |
 |
New European Commission study on Greenhouse gas emissions from Heavy Duty Vehicles In a study commissioned by the European Commission DG Climate action, the consultant presents an overview of the available technologies to reduce greenhouse gases from Heavy Duty Vehicles. A wide variety of measures were assessed and the known barriers and benefits were described for each measure. Lightweight Materials were pointed out as one area with a big potential. |

L’aluminium contribue à la sécurité passive des véhicules industriels Une nouvelle étude démontre que le recours à un dispositif de crash management à l’avant des véhicules industriels permettrait d’améliorer sensiblement la sécurité routière. |
|
Le manuel “L’aluminium dans les véhicules industriels” est à présent disponible Fin 2009, l’European Aluminium Association publiait la brochure technique en anglais “Aluminium in Commercial Vehicles” pour répondre aux besoins des ingénieurs des bureaux d’études et des ateliers. La version française est à présent disponible. |

Des jantes en aluminium pour le tracteur MAN “TGX Efficient-Line”
Le nouveau tracteur MAN, le “TGX Efficient Line”, prouve grâce à l’amélioration de l’efficacité de ses équipements, dont les jantes en aluminium, qu’il est possible d’économiser jusqu’à 3 litres de gazole aux 100 kilomètres. |
|
Ridelles renforcées sur les bennes basculantes Onnicar Onnicar a récemment collaboré avec Metra Spa dans pour développement de ridelles renforcées destinées aux plateaux et bennes basculantes à trois voies. Onnicar étudie également les applications potentielles des alliages d’aluminium de l’industrie aérospatiale aux véhicules industriels. |

Nouvelle étude de la Commission Européenne sur les émissions de gaz à effet de serre des poids lourds Dans une étude commandée par la Direction Générale pour l’Action pour le Climat de la Commission Européenne, les experts présentent un aperçu des technologies disponibles pour réduire les gaz à effet de serre émis par les poids lourds. Un large éventail de mesures y est évalué et il s’avère que les matériaux légers sont une voie fortement prometteuse. |

Alluminio per autocarri più sicuri Un nuovo studio dimostra che l’inserimento di Sistemi di Crash Management (gestione della collisione) che assorbono energia nella parte frontale di veicoli destinati al trasporto pesante ha un enorme potenziale per il miglioramento della sicurezza stradale passiva. |
|
Ora disponibile la versione francese del manuale “Aluminium in Commercial Vehicles” Alla fine del 2009, la European Aluminium Association (Associazione Europea Alluminio) ha divulgato il manuale tecnico “Aluminium in Commercial Vehicles” (l’Alluminio nei Veicoli Commerciali) in risposta ai bisogni degli ingegneri progettisti e di processo. Attualmente è disponibile la versione in Francese. |

Ruote in alluminio per MAN TGX Efficient-Line
MAN introduce MAN TGX Efficient-Line che dimostra, grazie ad un equipaggiamento che incrementa l’efficienza tra cui le ruote in alluminio, come l’attuale trasporto sulle lunghe distanze abbia la possibilità di risparmiare fino a 3 litri di gasolio ogni 100 chilometri. |
|
Assi laterali in alluminio rinforzato per ribaltabili Onnicar Onnicar ha recentemente collaborato con Metra Spa per lo sviluppo di profili rinforzati in alluminio per piattaforme fisse e ribaltabili su tre lati. Onnicar sta anche studiando applicazioni potenziali per leghe di alluminio aerospaziali. |

Nuovo studio della Commissione Europea sull’emissione di gas ad effetto serra da Veicoli per il Trasporto Pesante
In uno studio commissionato dalla Direzione Generale “Azione per il clima” della Commissionne europea, il consulente presenta una panoramica delle tecnologie disponibili per ridurre i gas di scarico ad effetto serra di automezzi per trasporto pesante. Sono state valutate un’ampia varietà di misure e per ciascuna di esse sono state descritti ostacoli e benefici. I materiali leggeri sono stati evidenziati come un’area ad alto potenziale. |
