Alcoa (AA)

Alcoa announced that it has been appointed by the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) to collaborate on the Army`s Fuel-Efficient Ground Vehicle Demonstrator (FED) project. In partnership with Ricardo Inc., Alcoa Defense will produce a tactical wheeled vehicle structure that significantly improves fuel efficiency while also maintaining survivability, performance and payload capability.
TARDEC is embarking on the FED project to help achieve the Army`s long-term goal of reducing fuel consumption on the battlefield, which will also reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil. The innovative solutions featured in the FED vehicle may become widely adopted by industry to enhance fuel efficiency in the next generation of tactical wheeled vehicles.
