24 EUROPEAN ALUMINIUM ASSOCIATION ALUMINIUM IN COMMERCIAL VEHICLES CHAPTER III Aluminium tipper on scrap yard (Galloo recycling) 3.4. Aluminium is easily and economically recycled Unlike traditional vehicles that are exported to end their life a long way from Europe, aluminium-intensive trailers generally spend their entire life in our continent, where they are eventually dismantled5 . Due to the high value of aluminium scrap, the motivation to sell to a scrap merchant is very high and landfilling is avoided. Recycled aluminium does not loose any of its quality and saves 95% of the primary production energy input. The energy required to produce primary aluminium is not lost: it is “stored in the metal”. 5. “The fate of aluminium from end-oflife commercial vehicles”, Université de Technologie de Troyes
EUROPEAN ALUMINIUM ASSOCIATION ALUMINIUM IN COMMERCIAL VEHICLES CHAPTER III 25 4. On the road… 4.1. Looking good forever The modern commercial vehicle cannot escape the pressures of industrial design. Operators want their vehicles to look good with clean, pleasing lines, something which aluminium alloy semis are ideal for producing. For example, using functional extrusions and plain or prepainted aluminium sheet that is easy to shape, it is a straightfor- ward matter to produce vans with rounded body corners both inside and out. With tippers and self-discharging bodies, this makes for a smooth unloading and easier cleaning. In addition, using double wall aluminium extruded boards allows the preservation of a perfect exterior surface over the time. Image conscious operators appreciate this type of construction very much. 8 years old aluminium tipping body re-used on a new truck Aluminium is used to produce the lightest, the strongest and the most beautiful wheels. Last but not least, no corrosion will appear after impact on aluminium parts, therefore preserving the image of the company.
