TPI Composites Manufactures All-Composite Cab for the Next-Generation Kenworth SuperTruck 2
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today TPI Composites, Inc., (TPI) (Nasdaq: TPIC) announced its contributions on the Kenworth SuperTruck 2 that is being exhibited at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. The all-composite cab, engineered and manufactured by TPI, pushes the boundaries of weight reduction and aerodynamics. TPI's expertise in the development and design of lightweight, high-strength composite materials enable the manufacturing of critical components and cab structures with significant weight reduction and improved freight efficiency.
亞利桑那州斯科茨代爾，2024年5月22日（GLOBE NEWSWIRE）——今天，TPI Composites, Inc.（TPI）（納斯達克股票代碼：TPIC）宣佈了對肯沃斯超級卡車2的捐款，該車將在內華達州拉斯維加斯先進清潔運輸（ACT）博覽會上展出。由 TPI 設計和製造的全複合材料駕駛室突破了減重和空氣動力學的界限。TPI 在開發和設計輕質高強度複合材料方面的專業知識使關鍵部件和駕駛室結構的製造能夠顯著減輕重量並提高貨運效率。
The SuperTruck 2 program is a public-private partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that challenged truck makers to improve freight efficiency using a diesel engine as the main power source. The program has the potential to significantly impact the trucking industry while making significant strides towards a more sustainable future. Kenworth's SuperTruck 2 was the result of a joint investment by the DOE and PACCAR, Kenworth's parent company.
SuperTruck 2計劃是與美國能源部（DOE）的公私合作伙伴關係，要求卡車製造商使用柴油發動機作爲主要動力源來提高貨運效率。該計劃有可能對卡車運輸行業產生重大影響，同時朝着更可持續的未來邁出長足的步伐。肯沃思的SuperTruck 2是美國能源部和肯沃思的母公司PACCAR共同投資的結果。
The ultramodern style of the Kenworth all-composite cab is 20% lighter than a comparable traditional metallic cab typical of Class 8 vehicles while also providing significant improvements in aerodynamics. The project was led by PACCAR, a global leader in the design, manufacture and customer support of premium light-, medium- and heavy-duty trucks under the Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF nameplates. "We appreciate TPI's partnership, expertise, and R&D investment in the development of the composite cab which supports the light-weighting and aerodynamic improvement goals of our SuperTruck 2 program." Joe Adams, Kenworth's chief engineer.
Kenworth 全複合材料駕駛室的超現代風格比 8 級車輛的同類傳統金屬駕駛室輕 20%，同時還顯著改善了空氣動力學。該項目由PACCAR領導，PACCAR是設計、製造和客戶支持領域的全球領導者，其銘牌爲Kenworth、Peterbilt和DAF的高端輕型、中型和重型卡車。“我們感謝TPI在複合駕駛室開發方面的合作、專業知識和研發投資，該駕駛室支持我們的SuperTruck 2計劃的輕量化和空氣動力學改進目標。”喬·亞當斯，肯沃思的總工程師。
Composite cab structures enable truck OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) to bring new products to market quicker, with lower production investment and offer multiple performance advantages over traditional metallics. Composites can be molded into complex shapes, creating design flexibilities that allow for more aerodynamic designs using fewer parts. They are lighter weight, contributing to improved fuel efficiency for internal combustion vehicles and extended range on electric vehicles.
複合駕駛室結構使卡車原始設備製造商（原始設備製造商）能夠以更低的生產投資更快地將新產品推向市場，並具有與傳統金屬材料相比的多重性能優勢。複合材料可以模製成複雜的形狀，從而創造了設計靈活性，允許使用更少的零件進行更多的空氣動力學設計。它們重量更輕，有助於提高內燃機的燃油效率，延長電動汽車的續航里程。
"We are thrilled to partner with Kenworth on this state-of-the-art program," said Todd Altman, Senior Director of Automotive at TPI Composites. "Our structural composite solutions are ideally suited for the demands of the trucking industry, offering many advantages including reduced investment and quicker to market, while also enabling the design of more aerodynamic and fuel-efficient vehicles."
TPI Composites汽車高級董事託德·奧特曼說：“我們很高興能與肯沃思合作開展這項最先進的項目。”“我們的結構複合材料解決方案非常適合卡車運輸行業的需求，具有許多優勢，包括減少投資和加快上市速度，同時還可以設計出更具空氣動力學和燃油效率的車輛。”
