Wirtschaftliche Leichtbautür für Nutzfahrzeuge
Description
Globalisation, increasing logistics volumes and dwindling resources are necessitating a change. We therefore developed a lightweight door for commercial vehicles to save fuel and to reduce emissions. We created a future-oriented design that includes aerodynamic elements and innovative joining technology. With our concept of steel-intensive ultralight construction, we were able to implement a cost-effective approach with maximum functional performance. The door has a hydroformed frame profile that does not block the viewing angle very much meaning pedestrians can be better seen and accidents can be avoided. Another feature is the Frame-Under-Glass concept for optimised aerodynamics. The truck door economically combines lightweight design with advanced aerodynamics and safety.
