AI Technical Summary
Traditional cab floor structures limit the lateral expansion space of cooling modules, failing to meet the matching requirements of high-horsepower engines. Furthermore, the longitudinal beams are subjected to harsh stress environments, affecting the vehicle's power performance and stability.
The floor longitudinal beams are designed with a variable cross-section, wider at the front and narrower at the rear. The steering column passes through the floor longitudinal beams and the cab suspension, increasing the lateral space of the cooling module. The variable cross-section structure also disperses the connection points of the cab, improving the stress environment.
It improves the space utilization of the cooling module, enhances heat dissipation capacity, improves the compatibility with high-horsepower engines, and enhances the durability and driving stability of the cab.
