Truck cabins with reduced NVH and blind spots
Truck cabin frames need to be light-in-weight, while providing for sustained driver comfort. With innovative designs and highly formable AHSS steels, designers can use complex geometries to increase cabin stiffness – reducing NVH – while also reducing driver blind spots.
Reducing blind spots via “enhanced direct vision” cab designs
By 2029, all European trucks must have “bigger and better positioned windows, with the driver’s cab lowered down to a height similar to large vans,” states Transport & Environment magazine.
To help reduce blind spots, designers will rely on a range of strategies, including minimizing the profile for the A-pillars and roof rails. SSAB has experience supporting automotive Tier 1 suppliers such as Shape Corp., who, for example, 3D cold formed Docol® 1700MPa martensitic steel for minimal profile A-pillars with 38% weight reduction.
