The combination of lightness, strength and formability make aluminium the ideal material for any transport application. The initial investment in energy is repaid many times over in fuel savings and environmental gains during the life of most vehicles. A truck, car, train, boat or plane can be moved with less force or carry more cargo at the same force if the vehicle itself is lightened. Aluminium is the preferred material for many basic transport applications including; panelling for buses, vans, coaches and caravans, lorry bodies and floors, tankers, trailers, engine heads and components. |
