STRENX IN ROAD TRANSPORT<br />
Strong and reliable from surface to core<br />
Strenx steel increases payloads and improves fuel<br />
efficiency of trucks and trailers by making them lighter<br />
without losing performance, safety and service life.<br />
All steel has the same specific weight, so the only<br />
solution to less weight is to use thinner steel that is<br />
stronger. Strenx steel solves the equation with yield<br />
strengths of 600–1300 MPa, while still being as<br />
welcome in the workshop as regular steel.<br />
With a Strenx chassis weight can be decreased<br />
significantly by using thinner plate that is also stronger.<br />
Depending on the chassis design, Strenx can reduce the<br />
total weight by 30–50%. A lighter trailer allows for an<br />
increased payload so not only can it cart more material,<br />
it will weigh less when empty. Increasing payload and<br />
reducing fuel consumption is a huge win.<br />
Reduced plate thickness enables a quicker and much<br />
cheaper welding process. 10-metre sheets of Strenx<br />
combined with out 8.2m forming capability means larger<br />
profiled and formed parts requiring fewer welds.<br />
With this in mind total production costs can be reduced<br />
by 30%.<br />
