Interior for heavy vehicle

The interiors of heavy vehicles must meet the highest standards in terms of visual and functional quality. This includes the right surface gloss, small gaps, and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) functionality. KB Components helps truck manufacturers deliver better and more effective interiors that cater to their professional and demanding customer base.

The company’s range of interior details encompasses dashboard instrument clusters and a wide variety of structural components. This ensures that every aspect of a heavy vehicle’s interior meets the highest standards of quality and performance.

Exterior/powertrain for heavy vehicle

It’s clear that polymer composites offer a lightweight alternative to metals, presenting the potential to help the automotive industry reduce its environmental impact and increase profitability. Importantly, exterior and powertrain applications for trucks must withstand rough usage and maintain extreme durability at all times.

Through its collaboration with Inxide AB on X-TECH™ technology, KB Components is able to offer lightweight structural components that meet these demanding requirements. Interestingly, X-TECH™ combines the reinforcing capabilities of continuous fiber reinforcement, such as Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) and tape laying, with the high-rate complex forming capability of conventional injection or compression molding.
