Transportation Industry
High-Performance, Lightweight Transportation Manufacturing
At Rock Steel, we are committed to providing advanced solutions for vehicle manufacturing, including buses and trains, through high-quality tubes and components that combine strength, durability, and light weight.
We believe that designing lightweight structures not only reduces fuel consumption and lowers harmful emissions but also enhances transportation efficiency and significantly increases passenger capacity—while maintaining the highest standards of safety and durability.
Carefully Selected Materials
- Ferritic Stainless Steel EN 1.4003 (3CR12) : This material is characterized by its high resistance to corrosion and rust, making it ideal for key structural parts exposed to various weather conditions. It also provides long-lasting durability and an elegant appearance, enhancing the overall quality of the vehicle.
- Carbon Steel (CS) : This material offers high mechanical strength along with excellent formability and weldability, making it the optimal choice for practical and durable structures in both heavy and light vehicles
INTEGRATION OF STAINLESS STEEL PIPES INTO TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY
The stainless steel pipes we produce, especially the 3CR12 grade, are widely used in the manufacturing of structural and functional components within buses. Thanks to their high corrosion resistance and mechanical strength they are used in :
- Structures and Chassis
- Stairs and Passenger Floors
- Wheel Arches and Side Protection
- Handrails and Safety Barriers
- Firewalls and Interior Partitions
The 3CR12 grade represents an ideal choice for bus manufacturers who seek to improve safety, increase service life, and reduce maintenance in public transportation vehicles
Industry
The use of these advanced materials allows vehicle manufacturers to significantly reduce structural weight without compromising strength or safety. This leads to :
- • Noticeable reduction in fuel consumption and lower operating costs.
- • Decreased CO2 emissions, contributing to a reduced environmental footprint of vehicles
- • Improved vehicle performance and operational efficiency while maintaining long-term structural durability.
- • Increased passenger capacity by utilizing the reduced weight in interior design.
Why Rock Steel?
We don’t just provide raw materials—we deliver integrated solutions that help achieve the best balance between weight, strength, and cost. Every design project is carefully studied in terms of materials and dimensions to ensure optimal performance, making vehicles lighter, safer, and more efficient than ever before.
