Commercial Vehicles

Commercial vehicles run under sustained load. Heavy-duty trucks operate for long hours at high torque, with limited recovery time. That continuous duty puts engines, transmissions, and exhaust systems under constant stress.

Friction, heat, and wear build up across critical interfaces. Without wear resistant and friction reduction coatings, efficiency drops and component degradation accelerates. Emission compliance adds pressure through high-pressure fuel and AdBlue® injection, while catalytic converter coating must withstand high-temperature exposure and corrosive media.

The use of renewable ‘green’ fuels such as bio-fuels, re-fuels, CNG, LNG and hydrogen gas poses a major challenge for the injection components in advanced injection systems. In addition to altered tribological properties such as friction and wear, there is also an increased risk of corrosion on the component surfaces.

For fleets, downtime becomes an immediate cost driver. Robust vacuum surface treatment helps protect reliability and extend service life in long-haul operation.
