 – Replacing 10 steel wheels with Alcoa Wheels on a 3-axle diesel articulated city bus brings down CO2 emissions by 5 tons over the 12 year lifetime of the bus and    750 000 km
 – Replacing 12 steel wheels with Alcoa Wheels on a 2-axle truck and 3-axle trailer brings down CO2 emissions by 4 tons over the lifetime of truck (2×5 years) and trailer (10 years) and 1300 000 km
