A class of polymer known as a thermoplastic can be treated using techniques including extrusion, injection moulding, thermoforming, and blow moulding after being heated to soften it.
The thermoplastic is intended for use in external truck bodywork parts that can be painted in-line and have surfaces that are at least partially visible.
The Global Truck thermoplastic market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
General Motors has decided to use carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) in their high production vehicles in conjunction with Teijin, a chemical, pharmaceutical, and information technology firm with headquarters in Japan.
A thermoplastic longline striping truck is called the Thermo Hog TH16.0 by Hog Technologies. The surface of the melter is uniformly heated by the Thermo Hog using heated oil.
The annual fuel consumption of a heavy-duty truck could be decreased by at least 3% thanks to a thermoplastic roof fairing concept developed by SABIC. In order to lower front end pressure and speed up airflow over the surface as well as through the fairing itself, SABIC’s new thermoplastic roof fairing idea includes air ducts.
Rhodia Engineering Plastics is offering a new hand pallet truck made of TechnylStar innovative thermoplastic polymers. The lightweight, silent, and more manoeuvrable thermoplastic material used in the truck’s construction allows it to be as robust as trucks made of steel while also being more convenient.
The first injection-molded roof fairing for the trucking sector has been created, according to SABIC’s Innovative Plastics division in partnership with CK Technologies, a supplier of engineered plastic solutions, and Volvo Trucks North America. The roof fairing proves that thermoplastics may successfully replace conventional thermosets in order to lighten weight and energy usage.
