September 10, 2009 - Alcoa’s New 14” LvL ONE™ Wheel To Help Fleets Slash Fuel Costs
	Alcoa Wheel and Transportation Products has added another timely, money-saving member to its LvL ONE ™ line. The new 14-inch LvL ONE wide base wheel weighs 8 pounds less than competitive aluminum wheel options. The 14-inch LvL ONE weighs only 62 pounds, so outfitting a complete tractor/trailer rig puts 64 pounds less weight on the road than a comparable 14-inch aluminum wheel. Long-haul operators still running on steel wheels can realize a staggering 1,344-pound reduction in rig weight by converting to the new 14-inch LvL ONE aluminum wheels. According to independent fuel studies, the conversion can result in fuel savings as high as 7 percent. To find out how much money a fleet can save, use Alcoa’s new on-line Web tool, CalcuLighter™. Recently introduced, this free service provides instant and exact financial data just by entering a few specific details. To use CalcuLighter or for more product details, visit www.alcoawheels.com.
