Transportation

Whether on land, at sea or in the air, you’ll find SSAB steel in transportation and infrastructure solutions that powerfully impact our world.

Applications

• Trailers
  Trailers make the perfect application for Strenx®, where you get more payload without increasing the total weight of the trailer.
  
  
• Truck body builders
  Whatever you are building, Strenx® can make your products lighter, stronger and more sustainable.
  
  
• Tipper bodies
  Tipper bodies face exposure to severe wear and impact during their lifecycle. By using Hardox® you can substantially lower the lifecycle cost.
  
  
• Containers
  Containers benefit from using high-strength steel, especially when combined with the weathering steel properties that increase the corrosion resistance when the steel is exposed to the air.
  
  
• Trucks
  With vehicles facing increasing demands on both fuel efficiency crash performance, the use of high-strength steel satisfies these often competing requirements.
  
  
• Buses
  With more traffic on the roads and higher speeds, buses are one of the safest methods of transportation. Using high-strength steels in the safety zones makes driving and traveling on the road even safer.
  
  
• Railway transport
  Railway transport is the most energy-efficient way to move goods or people on the ground. Still, there is room for improvement using high-strength steels to ensure better safety, efficiency and a higher payload.
  
  
• Components
  A wide variety of components perform better when produced with high-strength steel in heavy transport.
  
  
• Lighter, more fuel-efficient vehicles
  It's easy to optimize transport: Maximize your load at a minimum cost.
  
  
• Road transportation safety
  High-strength steels are contributing to the drive for safety.
