Hendrickson International and Delphi Automotive Systems have agreed to develop and manufacture a composite bumper for the medium- and heavy-duty truck and bus markets.
Advanced composite materials, originally developed for the aerospace industry, offer tremendous advantages to commercial vehicle manufacturers. Composites are lighter than steel, aluminum or magnesium by up to 80 percent, helping to provide improved fuel economy, lower emissions, and increased payload capacity, according to the companies.
Delphi Automotive, headquartered in Troy, Mich., produces mobile electronics and transportation components and systems technology. Hendrickson is based in Woodridge, Ill., and supplies truck, tractor and trailer suspension systems, lift axles, springs, bumpers and components.
