Features
☑ Lightweight and Durable
The van body is constructed from high-performance composite panels, precisely connected via high-strength aluminum alloy profiles, resulting in a sturdy yet lightweight structure. This design not only enhances the overall durability of the van, but also effectively reduces vehicle weight, improving transport efficiency and fuel or power efficiency.
☑ Sealed Structure
The van body features a fully enclosed design, with the top, sides, and rear doors completely covering the cargo, effectively protecting it from rain, dust, wind, and the sun.

Modular dry van bodies – Make assembly easier
Quick assembly of the box body
Modular dry van bodies are designed to be flexible and efficient. They are made of interchangeable parts that can be quickly installed and removed. It is simple to operate and has very low maintenance costs. We can configure the box according to specific transportation needs.
Application of Composite Materials in Dry Van Bodies
The application of new composite materials in dry van bodies brings many benefits. These new materials make the box lighter and have a longer service life. TOPOLOGROUP has developed a series of lightweight glass fiber composite panels to meet the construction requirements of different types of dry van bodies and accept customized solutions.
- Features: Closed-cell PET foam is lightweight and has high rigidity. This material is recyclable, and in terms of environmental protection, recycled PET material is very popular in the market.
- Features: Plywood is an organic material with a wide range of sources. It is made of multiple layers of veneer under high temperature and high pressure, so it has very high strength. And its price is relatively low, making it an economical choice.
- Features: XPS foam has low water absorption, excellent thermal insulation performance, and a certain hardness. It is an ideal choice for building dry freight truck bodies in cold regions.
- Features: Honeycomb structure thermoplastic polypropylene plastic, which provides a high strength-to-weight ratio and is a representative material for lightweighting.
- Compared with flat fiberglass honeycomb panels, this material features a non-slip textured surface. It offers high friction resistance and excellent water durability, making it an ideal choice for dry van truck floors.
- The semi-transparent fiberglass panels allow natural light to enter the van during daytime, providing sufficient illumination inside the cargo area without the need for additional lighting. This design saves energy while enhancing operational convenience and safety.
