Alcoa Fastening Systems and Rings White Paper

Downtime and maintenance can be a drag on feet performance and productivity, particularly when it involves key frame, chassis, and suspension joints. Having to regularly re-tighten or even replace fasteners is diffcult and time consuming.In addition, this process can be very expensive when considering the cost of maintenance personnel and vehicle downtime. This article covers the joining properties of engineered HuckBolts® , their use in critical truck, chassis, and trailer applications, and an interview with Penske Truck Leasing management, who for years have successfully used HuckBolts to keep their 215,000-vehicle feet on the road. For many years, a large number of feet operators have come to count on the benefts associated with specifying engineered HuckBolt® lockbolts for use in critical truck and trailer joints – consistent clamp, tensile and fatigue strength, and unmatched vibration resistance. In truck chassis, the Huck BobTail® and Huck-Spin® 2 swaged lockbolts are employed to ensure the long-term joint integrity of shock mounts, suspension members, ladder assemblies, and 5th wheel angles

Aviation is often considered a “hard to abate” sector; it is growing rapidly but struggling to deploy low-carbon technologies due to their high costs. This paper presents a case under which progressive taxation, namely a frequent flying levy (FFL), can generate revenues for decarbonization while ensuring equitable distribution of the cost burden.
