JOINING TECHNIQUES FOR TRUCKS, BUSES AND INDUSTRIAL VEHICLES

Joining techniques for lightweight constructions in heavy vehicles

Project leader: Paola Campestrini

This project is looking for suitable and affordable techniques to join lightweight materials together. The use of lightweight materials is currently limited due to a lack of adequate joining techniques. This project is aimed at the use of such techniques in small production runs in the TBI sector (Trucks and Trailers, Buses, Industrial, Agricultural, Recreational and Special Vehicles).
Eventually all the knowledge gained will be made available in a practical handbook and a knowledge database. For Flanders, this knowledge has competitive importance. With some 10,000 workers, the TBI sector represents a major economic activity. This project involves small businesses with a few employees as well as large multinational companies in this sector.
