Maxion Wheels Wheel model
Maxion Wheels Low Carbon Wheels
Maxion's low-carbon wheels are not a style but a manufacturing approach applied to its steel and aluminum wheels. The first wheel manufacturer to be a member of both ResponsibleSteel and the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative, Maxion launched pilot programs in 2023 for ultra-low-CO2 wheels. By combining low-carbon steel or aluminum with electricity from renewable sources, the company has demonstrated emission reductions on the order of 60 to 65%, for example on a 16-inch wheel for an electric last-mile delivery vehicle. The FUSION hybrid technology, which pairs an aluminum disc with a steel rim, also reduces the footprint by about 30% compared to a conventional alloy. These wheels keep the same OEM validation, safety, and fitment requirements as the standard versions. Target audience: manufacturers and fleets, especially electric ones, subject to decarbonization targets; relevant for Quebec buyers concerned about the carbon footprint of their vehicle and commercial fleets.
