Bionic Wheel Hub - Taking nature as an example to lighten commercial vehicles
Bionic design means nothing different than taking nature as an example for the design development for components.
GF Casting Solutions builds upon its expertise in bionic design to achieve even more weight reduction for its cast components. For commercial vehicles, this is a real challenge especially because of the tremendous forces that are exerted on the components. GF s bionic wheel hub shows that it is still possible to reduce weight by 13%. With bionic design, we have found a way how we can design sophisticated structures which are thin-walled but still stiff and durable. -Dominik Mahnig
