Crash-Boxes for Truck-Cabin Occupant Protection


Injection-molded PC/PBT was used to form left and right side crash boxes that allowed the commercial truck OEM to meet the very high (30kJ) impact energy of this crash requirement in India.  The versatile design allows both left- and right-hand parts to be  molded from the same tool while reducing weight 30% vs. the previous steel system.
