AeroQuest has developed technology that will allow commercial vehicle manufacturers to offer their vehicles with all-composite body panels.  AeroQuest composite vehicle bodies are extremely durable, highly impact resistant and provide weight savings of up to 65-percent compared to conventional sheet and post construction. AeroQuest’s fiber-reinforced thermoplastic body panels are pre-fabricated and ready for rapid assembly. The AeroQuest body panel “kits” are shipped flat-stacked up to 30 body kits per transport trailer. AeroQuest has patents on this type of monocoque “chassis-less” vehicle design.

The uniqueness of the manufacturing and assembly as compared to manufacturing processes currently being used is the use of fiber reinforced thermoplastic sandwich panels. When assembled, the sandwich panels that make up the side walls, roof, and the vehicle floor, do not rrequire an internal support frame such as those vehicles produced using conventional “sheet and post” design. In contrast, the AeroQuest composite bodies will allow for fiber-reinforced thermoplastic sandwich panels, in “monocoque” design, to carry the weight of the vehicle and its cargo, and to dissipate all stress loads generated, throughout the entire vehicle. In one regard, the stress loads exhibited on the structure react as though the structure is not comprised of several body panels, but rather, as a single unitary structure supporting the total load and resisting all internal and external forces.
