Hindalco launches lightweight, tonnage-increased, all-aluminium freight trailer

December 12, 2019: Hindalco Industries Limited, the aluminium and copper manufacturing company of Aditya Birla Group, launched a new all-aluminium freight trailer in Jaipur, Rajasthan last week.

The high-strength aluminium alloy used in the new freight trailer of Hindalco will be replacing mild-steel while entering into the Rs 1000 crore Indian truck and trailer market.

The 34-foot long aluminium trailer is 50% lighter and weighs over 2.5 tonnes less than an equivalent steel trailer.

The aluminium freight trailer can ferry materials such as cement, alumina, fly ash, grains, flour, steel coils and cylinders.

“The unique properties of aluminium ensure that the vehicle is safe, strong, durable, efficient and environmental-friendly, in addition to being cost-effective.

The trailer is being engineered with inputs from ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India) to ensure optimum results.
