Gianetti Ruote Introduces Lightweight Steel Wheel at IAA 2016

HANNOVER, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Accuride Corporation (NYSE: ACW) – a leading supplier of components to the European and North American commercial vehicle industries – today introduced a new lightweight steel wheel from Gianetti Ruote for Europe’s commercial vehicle industry. Weighing just 34 kilograms, the new wheel for truck and trailer applications will be available to customers in the first quarter of 2017. Its new design incorporates improved mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of new high-strength low-alloy steel. It also includes the safety hump, protected valve configuration and stringent biaxial testing performance required by leading OEMs. Gianetti’s design engineering process enabled it to trim the wheel’s weight without changing the disc thickness, resulting in a wheel that is lighter yet equally durable as its predecessor. Accuride introduced the wheel during its news briefing at IAA 2016 in Hannover, Germany, Hall 13, Stand F18.
