Fuel is the biggest expense for any transportation company, so reducing fuel consumption can have a huge impact on your company's profitability. Plus, if you can increase the amount of payload on each trip, we're talking happier customers, more efficient operations and money saved - all at once.
Save fuel and cut emissions
A lighter car means more load capacity and less fuel consumption. In fact, you can save 5-10% fuel by only reducing the weight of your car by 10%.
Although it is a strong material, steel is three times as heavy as aluminum. By switching to aluminum, you'll be able to reduce weight while retaining the necessary strength and durability.
Also in terms of the use of electric vehicles, reduced weight will be an important contributor to battery saving and reducing the number of charging breaks.
Streamlined
Up to 50% of a truck's of a truck's fuel consumption is used to overcome aerodynamic drag. Sleek, clean surfaces on integrated enclosure systems, cargo beds and aluminum frames give you a more streamlined and aerodynamic truck - which in turn leads to less fuel consumption.
Easier maintenance
Truck maintenance can be both expensive and time-consuming. With its natural anodized surfaces, aluminium is well protected against corrosion, which reduces maintenance work and thus also costs.
Switch to aluminum components:
We have helped our customers reduce vehicle weight by supplying a wide range of aluminum structures and components for trucks and semi-trailers. These can be larger components such as frames, enclosure systems and storage solutions in aluminum.
Other components you can switch to aluminum include
Reduce weight with aluminum profile systems
Aluminum planes: With a wide range of unique aluminum profiles put into a system, you as a customer get a wide variety of options, so that your truck bed can be adapted to your needs. We offer aluminum planes for all types of light and heavy vehicles for general cargo, sand and mining transport.
Door systems: Our aluminum door systems are flexible and easy to customize. Plain surfaces that are naturally anodized provide a beautiful and durable surface that is easy to maintain. We use Armaton and Kinnegrip posts and are an official supplier for both manufacturers.
Enclosure systems: Hytrans profile system enables the construction of enclosures of all sizes; from enclosures adapted to light trucks to the larger constructions for high volume needs. The system provides an enclosure with high strength, low weight and safe function.
Collision protection: We manufacture and offer components such as underrun barriers, side barriers and end profiles for the rear, side and front of the truck.
