Asia
Eco-Friendly Buses
Alcoa and Zhengzhou Yutong,
China’s largest bus manufac-
turer, partnered to design
lightweight, energy-efficient,
eco-friendly aluminum buses
for China’s growing commut-
ing public. Prototypes will be
ready for the Beijing 2008
Olympic Games. The goal is
to reduce weight by 15% to
20%. Reducing the weight
of the buses by 100 kilograms
(220 pounds) could save
2,550 liters (674 gallons)
of diesel and reduce emis-
sions over its lifetime,
according to an Institute for
Energy and Environmental
Research study.
Meeting Demand
The expansion project
at Alcoa’s Bohai plant in
Qinhuangdao, China, is
scheduled for completion
in mid-2008. The nearly
$280 million expansion
includes a new hot mill, cold
mill and finishing equipment,
as well as a lithographic
line. With this new rolling
capacity, Alcoa will be able
to produce high-quality
aluminum sheet products
for the beverage, printing,
transportation, and industrial
and electronics markets
throughout Asia.
