Truck cabin and bus

The latest truck designs require automotive-level tolerances. Working closely with customer engineers, we have devised assembly methods that incorporate technologies such as adhesives and sealants that reduce the number of welds and improve overall strength.

An intelligent combination

For a truck cabin, the possible weight saving using an intelligent combination of extrusions and aluminium sheet is over 40 percent compared to traditional design.

Hydro provides the majority of the aluminium components and assemblies for heavy duty truck cabs assembled in Canada and Mexico. Hydro in North America provides custom aluminium solutions for virtually any busing application. From cab systems to window designs, our engineers are ready to serve.

Assisting at all levels

We offer highly complex, multiple-step manufacturing services for truck and trailer manufacturers looking to outsource some or all of their subassembly production. We can assist at all levels of the assembly and manufacturing process from design and engineering through delivery.

In Europe, we deliver formed and machined truck cabin components to the DaimlerChrysler Econic as well as components to a range of other customers.
