Browsing: Heavy Truck Superstructure

Some manufacturers operating in the field of road tanker manufacturing in Türkiye are able to offer their products to international markets thanks to design and production infrastructures aligned with European standards. Aluminum and alloy metal structures, ADR-compliant superstructure designs and modern control systems are among the key elements supporting the competitiveness of Türkiye-based manufacturers in the tanker market.

Digital control and remote monitoring technologies are increasingly being implemented in ambulance services. Systems referred to as “smart ambulances” aim to enhance the effectiveness of emergency medical services by transmitting patient data, vehicle location information, and operational parameters to emergency response centers in real time.

In Türkiye, a strengthening trend is observed toward the use of composite materials in firefighting vehicles designed for intervention in high-rise buildings, replacing traditional metal bodies and superstructures as well as tower/ladder assemblies. This approach stands out in the sector as an alternative production model due to advantages such as reduced weight, corrosion resistance, ease of maintenance, and structural strength.

In Türkiye, a noticeable shift toward standards aligned with European norms is emerging in the design and production of ladder fire trucks and hydraulic platform-equipped fire trucks. In particular, referencing the EN 1846 and EN 1777 standards highlights the efforts of local manufacturers to bring their products into line with international safety, performance and durability criteria.

In Türkiye, a shift toward lightweight materials and modern superstructure technologies in the production of waste collection vehicles is gaining momentum. In particular, aluminum or composite superstructures and modular superstructure designs aim to both improve fuel/energy efficiency and strengthen compliance with environmental sustainability standards.
