Podcast: Wheel Testing Insight with Nick Cross

The Technology & Maintenance Council’s annual convention brings together leaders and innovators across the trucking industry to discuss critical, technology challenges and opportunities facing suppliers. Companies from across the value chain meet for a few days to discuss regulations, opportunities, and standards.

At the 2020 conference, the team at Alcoa invited our wheel testing expert, Nick Cross to sit down for a discussion about various wheel testing topics. The Behind the Wheels podcast dug into topics such as common wheel testing standards, common failure modes, as well as key considerations when conducting a test program. Nick also covered a little background about how our Tire and Wheel test center in Ravenna, Ohio works with suppliers to meet development and regulatory compliance goals through testing.
