If you are in the trailer business and want to increase payload, reduce maintenance, save fuel, and streamline production while being environmentally responsible, then this document is for you. 

Improvements in design and production methods can significantly benefit road transport vehicles like trucks and trailers. Material selection is a key factor that influences the performance and cost of these vehicles. High-strengh steels (HSS) like Strenx^® performance steel allow for lightweight solutions, directly translating to financial savings and less CO₂ emissions.

HSS makes a natural choice for companies looking to improve their products and to be more competitive. Successful companies using HSS are at the forefront of material, design and process development while still benefiting from years of experience using conventional steel. By introducing HSS, these companies are gaining new knowledge that they can apply in product design and fabrication. 

At SSAB, we help our customers unlock the full potential of our advanced high-strength steels. By choosing Strenx^® performance steel, you get more than just high-quality steel. We are happy to share our knowledge with you so that you can select the right steel grade for both design and production.
