Trailers and body builders
By removing stiffeners and using the high load and lifetime performance of Hardox® 450, the weight of the tipper body could be reduced by 50%. This, in turn, increases the load capacity of the truck, reducing fuel consumption and emissions per ton transported, which is even more important in city traffic, where this truck is operating.
SSAB EcoUpgraded
Together with our customers, SSAB continually upgrades steel and equipment designs. SSAB EcoUpgraded saves CO2 both in steel production and during the full lifetime of the machine.
From the CO2 payback time and onwards, every extra hour brings additional savings.
