Alcoa announced it has bolstered applications for medium-duty truck segments, Classes 3-6, with the introduction of its M-Series line of wheels.
Each wheel in the M-Series collection features the same benefits Alcoa forged aluminum wheels provide to heavy-duty customers, but are now customized to fit medium-duty applications. M-Series wheels resist corrosion to virtually eliminate wheel maintenance costs and maintain the clean bright look that fleets deserve. At nearly half the weight of a steel wheel, Alcoa M-Series wheels improve fuel economy, reduce carbon emissions and are infinitely recyclable.
The M-Series line of wheels provides customers with brush and polish finish options. Select part numbers are also offered with Alcoa’s patented Dura-Bright surface treatment option. The Dura-Bright production process penetrates the forged aluminum, which holds the shine—even after hundreds of washes and thousands of miles.
Since Dura-Bright wheels rinse easily with mild soap and water, they eliminate the need for caustic cleaning products, further protecting the environment and reducing maintenance costs.
Alcoa’s M-Series wheel collection is designed for straight trucks, cab-overs and low deck trailers in the towing, beverage, emergency, delivery, food processing, retail/wholesale, utility and refuse industries. Specifically the wheels are manufactured to fit Dodge, Ford, Freightliner, Fuso, General Motors, Hino, International, Isuzu, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Smith and Sprinter vehicle makes.
