2011 Chevrolet Cruze ECO<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

General Motors has announced its plan to outfit the 2011 Chevy Cruz Eco with Goodyear\u2019s Fuel Max radials and Alcoa Automotive\u2019s lightweight forged aluminum wheels. Alcoa says that the 17-inch wheels taken by GM are 20% lighter than comparable products, contributing to overall weight reduction as the Cruz is capable of 40 mpg economy during highway driving.<\/p>\n

Not only does the use of the forged aluminum wheels reduce mass to lower consumption and increase efficiency, but it also improves driving performance by reducing unsprung weight.<\/p>\n

The Alcoa deal is one that will be in place for a number of years, with the wheels being manufactured at the company\u2019s facility in Cleveland. The Cruz is expected to hit showroom floors this coming fall, but GM has yet to furnish sales expectations.<\/p>\n
