Optimised weight and less fuel costs in moving with Raex steels Own weight and wear-resistance are important factors of hooklift containers in construction and waste management. With Raex wear-resistant steel, the material thickness of the re-designed container reduced from 5 mm to 2,5 mm. The new 39 m 3 container design with reduced weight,1 780 kg, has increased payload and decreased air-resistance; Fuel consumption of the vehicle is reduced by 4 liters/100km. It means fuel cost savings of over 60 000 euros during its lifetime.* *) lifetime 10 a, driving 100.000km/a, fuel cost 1.6 /liter 16 www.ruukki.com INTERNAL Firstname Lastname INTERNAL
