CFRT is a high-performance composite reinforced with continuous glass or carbon fibers. Its continuous fiber structure provides superior mechanical performance, while its thermoplastic matrix enables melt reshaping and cyclic reuse, fully meeting the high-intensity and long-term service demands of dry freight trucks.

CFRT reduces structural weight by over 50% compared with steel. A standard 40-foot dry truck can achieve a weight reduction of about 1.2 tons, increasing cargo capacity by 10%–13% under fixed gross weight limits. The lighter structure lowers fuel consumption and emissions, delivering significant economic and energy-saving benefits.
With continuous fiber reinforcement, CFRT possesses high specific strength and stiffness comparable to steel. It resists tension, bending and impact, and features outstanding weather and corrosion resistance without rusting or rotting. CFRT compartments achieve a 30% longer service life and lower overall operating costs.
Different from non-recyclable thermoset composites, CFRT can be remelted and reprocessed after use, with a recycling rate above 90% for closed-loop utilization. Its pollution-free production and full-life green performance effectively solve the environmental drawbacks of traditional materials, supporting the low-carbon development of the freight industry.
