The modernisation drive was begun last year with the aim of replacing high maintenance equipment with those that are more efficient, safer, reliable and environmentally friendly.
The all-aluminium personnel carriers will be used for light maintenance work, taking employees from one end to the other.
Commenting on the new personnel carriers at the pot rooms, Alba's Chief Executive, Laurent Schmitt, said, "Alba is in the process of upgrading its equipments and has already mapped-out a detailed programme to achieve this goal across various departments. The aim of this programme is to bring about greater efficiency, strengthen safety, boost the environment, enhance reliability, and of course, further enrich the work experience for our employees. The new personnel carriers at the pot lines have not only been built for use in smelters but have also been customised for Alba, and are expected to be the sole method of transportation in the pot lines. We look forward to seeing them."
The all-aluminium personnel carriers are battery operated, and thus greatly minimise environmental degradation since they do not require fossil fuel to power the vehicle.
Customised for use in aluminium smelters, the personnel carriers are sturdy, ergonomically sound, durable and productivity oriented.
