10. Dpto. de marketingLecitrailer 2009 Collaboration model to create a new trailer concept Actors roles: -Lecitrailer is the project owner, the target is a new advanced light trailer made out AHSS -Vehival is the engineering company (belonging to the Universidad de Zaragoza), it has been in charge of FEM simulations and prototypes testing -SSAB is the AHSS supplier, giving also knowledge in the project phase on materials selection and processes Since it was decided to use an advanced rolled formed shape, the project counted with the collaboration of Brausa, a local roll forming company Singular project promoted by Business development Heavy Transport SD Development Work

11. Dpto. de marketingLecitrailer 2009 Development Work Project description Advanced High Strength Steel semitrailer development ►Flat platform trailer chassis. ►Explore the aluminium solution and get same function and weight. ►Brainstorming to decide new concept for the floor. ►FEM model and simulations, including global and local loading cases. ►FEM Structural Optimization phase. ►Prototypes for static testing for the floor. ►Whole trailer prototype testing (fatigue performance).

12. Dpto. de marketingLecitrailer 2009 Forklift over the platform  Simulation of a forklift over the wooden floor  Load: 3.000 Kg applied over a surface 210 x 150 mm by means of a rubber block: wooden floor Rubber block 3.000 Kg Development Work

16. Dpto. de marketingLecitrailer 2009 Conclusions ►Dogal 1000 DPX is a perfect solution when roll formed as a structural floor. ►Stiffness and strength are excellent, better than other configurations, according FEM. ►When combining Dogal UHS and Domex EHS, weight and performance we get the aluminum solution, but at a fraction of its cost. ►Decreased wood and steel consumption, in respect to the traditional steel design. ►Joining ways is an issue under development process (prototype vs. production). ►Fatigue test approved. ►Final improved design allows transport inside ISO containers (bolted neck area).
