The upgrade of materials has significantly improved the quality of the tail and extended its lifespan, leading to cost reduction!

In response to changes in the economy, the company began to seek greater efficiency in production and materials. [Challenges] - Since the focus was on mass production, the introduction of Hardox® wear-resistant steel plates was not considered. ~Using Hardox® 450 in their truck production~ 1. During the recession, a sales representative from SSAB Moscow visited. 2. The tail with a thickness of 8mm was replaced with one of 5mm on two test vehicles. 3. Reinforcement was removed. The introduction of Hardox® wear-resistant steel plates, the first of its kind for this application in Russia, led to a significant improvement in the quality and reliability of MosKomMash trucks. *For more details, please contact us or download the PDF materials for review.*
