Aluminum has been used in vehicles for a long time. Due to the obvious advantages of light weight, aluminum has been used on a large scale in automobiles. Nowadays, many countries use aluminum alloy tank trucks. Aluminum tank trucks are about 20% lighter than steel tank trucks of the same size, but the transportation efficiency can be increased by 30%, and the service life is longer, which is 5-10 years longer than steel tank trucks. In the whole service life cycle, the profit created is very considerable.

The tank body is the core of every tank car enterprise, and the tank car material is the main reference factor for customers to choose high-quality tank cars. The difference in the quality of tank truck materials also affects customers' evaluation and purchase of tank trucks virtually. High-quality tank car materials convey the strength, professionalism and brand awareness of the tank car manufacturer, making transportation safer and more secure.
