Transportation is one of the largest industries in the world, affecting nearly everyone on the planet in some way. ICI’s state-of-the-art composite technology brings modern, eco-friendly alternatives to this sector with new alternatives to traditional containers and truck body panels. The patented Structure-Lite panels have the strength of steel with half the weight, all the while proving to be more durable, long lasting and less expensive. The unique qualities make the Structure-Lite panels the ideal replacement for many products within the transportation industry.

Transport Trucks are one of the most widely used vehicles for shipping cargo worldwide. However the transportation industry has seen little change in 30 years to the design and build of these trucks, resulting in poor fuel efficiency and outdated materials being used in panel design. ICI’s advanced Structure-Lite composite panels provide the same strength as steel but drastically reduce the weight of trailers.

This eco-friendly innovation is not only made from recyclable materials, but the lightweight design also decreases fuel consumption. With fuel prices on the rise and environmentally friendly materials in high demand, ICI’s Structure-Lite truck body panels provide an ideal solution for trucking companies around the globe.

Are there benefits to using composite truck body panels?

In the transportation industry, weight plays a huge role in the costs associated with shipping anything via truck. With 22 billion gallons of fuel consumed each year and prices on the rise, the trucking industry stood to benefit from the revolutionary, lightweight design of ICI’s Structure-Lite panels.

By reducing the weight in the trailers, the composite truck body panels improve overall fuel consumption and also allow tractors to carry a heavier load. This dual impact increases revenue and reduces fuel consumption, leading to more money for ICI’s partners. Environmentally friendly and recyclable, these panels are the next step forwards in truck body panels and will help shift the transportation industry into the modern age.
