Urban Freight Vehicle
Manufacturing
Raw Materials-Frame Rails and crossmembers are usually formed by high tensile steel. Suspension, components, axles and engine mounts are also made from steel. Some are cast and some are fabricated and welded. The cab of a Lorry can be made out of aluminium or steel.
Finish
The paint and clear coat do more than just make the Lorry look good – they serve as protective coatings to shield the vehicle from the elements. Your finishing process is critical.

Weight of a Lorry
Aerodynamic drag, also called wind resistance, is a retarding force exerted on a vehicle by the air through which it moves. As a truck travels forward, it breaks up the flow of air, creating an area of low air pressure behind the body or trailer (the wake).

History of a Lorry
The first lorry was invented in Germany in 1896 and built by the German automotive pioneer, Damlier. The lorry featured a 4 horsepower engine with 2 forward speeds and 1 reverse speed. Of course, there were trucks before this time, but this is what is closest to the modern day lorries we are so familiar with now.
