Trailers and body builders
The containers on this truck and trailer combination were upgraded from S235 standard steel to Strenx® 700MC, saving 560 kg per container. This increases the payload per trip by 1,680 kg for the total vehicle with three containers and also reduces the fuel consumption for the empty vehicle. Through an optimised design the wind drag is reduced, which further reduces the fuel consumption.
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.
