Environmental control trailer
The project involved the development and manufacture of a monocoque trailer box in GRP sandwich
structure. Autonomous operation with battery power was required so a front 45° surface was
specified to equip photo-voltaic panels. The doors should be integrated into the body for better
aerodynamics. The team worked on:
- Industrialization Engineering,
- 3d modelling for mould design,
- Wood female mould with doors and entrances supplements,
- Production of the box trailer sandwich structure.
The sandwich structure of the laminates were made with GRP skins and 30 mm. polyurethane foam core.
For better weather resistance was decided to assemble on aluminium trailer structure.
